Out There

Fear and Leadership in the Mountains


Listen Later

How many times have we been told the story of the fearless leader — in work, in politics, in the mountains? When the stakes are high, it's natural to place our confidence in strength and certainty. To turn to the leader and believe they have no doubt.

This story, which originally aired on She Explores in 2020, isn't about how to become a fearless leader in the mountains. Nor is it about how to overcome your fear, or even how to harness it. But it is about listening to what fear is trying to teach us. It's an opportunity to consider what kind of leader you need, as well as the one you might want to be.

Music in this episode includes works by Gracie & Rachel via Music Bed.
