Courage is strength. Courage is a distinct that separates a leader from a commoner. Courage is needed in every aspect of a leader’s path. Courage is needed to protect a leader's beliefs. Courage is needed to protect followers. Courage is more so, needed for a leader to take action, face consequences and make decisions. Nevertheless, it is also the one thing that many have decided to give up in their quest for greatness.

A common adversary of man, in his quest for leadership greatness, is always the dilemma of his beliefs and his status. More often than not, people tends to shift towards protecting the best of their own interest than to fight for what he feels is right.

Man are accustomed to staying in their comfort zone, be it for wealth or power. To be a leader however, one must have the courage to move out of that comfort zone to protect one's core beliefs.

Nelson Mandela, the first fully representative elected president of South Africa, dedicated himself to the struggle of his country. He fought for what he beliefs in even if it meant for him to be imprisoned. After his term of 27 years, he continues to fight for the freedom of his people and country.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, fought for his beliefs of abolishing slavery in spite of strong opposition and the eventual civil war in 1861.

Martin Luther King fought for racial equality despite what we all called an "impossible" uphill feat.

Adolf Hitler, for all the wrong he has done, fought on his beliefs despite having the world against him.

A leader must be prepared to face adversity and support their people. These are the basic expectation of how a leader should be, in exchange of your follower’s trust and faith.

A leader should stand up to what he believes and do what is necessary to make things right. This includes protecting their followers from unfairness and stand up to their superiors if necessary.

A leader is someone whom his followers look up to for advice and direction, a leader therefore, must possess the courage to set directions and hold onto the dreams of his followers no matter what the situation is like.

Should the leader falter in his courage to do so, the morale, performance and the bond between his followers will too be shaken. On the countary however, that should a leader have the courage and spirit to do what he was meant to do so in the first place, even if he is not around, his followers will continue to live on his vision.

Apart from vision, courage is undeniably one of the traits that one must develop in his quest for greatness.
