This weekend I will continue reading and researching for my literature review on courage. I am considering (strongly) including followership in the lit review as well. Courage is a bit shallow when it comes to empirical research. There is discussion about actions such as feedback that comes from courage but I'm finding nothing that talks about how to enhance courage, build courage, even encourage courage!
Very fascinating stuff though. Lots of questions about following, why do we follow even when we follow bad leaders, why do we blindly accept the wrong solutions when we believe in a better way but keep quiet, where is the courage for a leader to listen to someone under him/her?
On a personal note, I have had 1.5cc of saline removed from my lapband in order to improve my nutrition and health. My doctor has given me 2 months in order to improve my blood work else I have to begin a series of special shots or have a blood transfusion. I'd like to avoid those! So, although I'm eating more, I do worry about weight gain. It's been two long years since I've had good nutrition and my body is going to freak. So we'll see.
Ray wants to race tonight, J works till 10. Tomorrow J works till 10 again but we are all off on Monday. They want to go boating but I am not into the boating. I'll sit on the side of the lake and read about courage and followership.
