Watership Down: Solutions for the Reluctant Leader


 

As a Christian leader and entrepreneur, do you ever doubt yourself, your abilities, or your decisions?

There are two types of leaders in the world, those who doubt themselves at times, and those who lie.


Here is a fact: Good leaders experience self-doubt at times.


It's one of the most common and normal experiences in leadership, and yet, it's rarely talked about. Of course, as a leader, self-doubt is something you should aim to overcome.

 

Too much self-doubt will paralyze your effectiveness and credibility as a leader. However, none at all will make you do things you might later regret.

In this episode, we'll examine the many ramifications of self-doubt in leadership. We'll consider what it is and what it does, but most of all, we'll give you the goods on how to overcome it! Because, after all, that's what overcomers do.

Oh, and I almost forgot...
