2DARING LEADERSHIP STYLE
Introduction
One of the primary attributes of a leader is the courage of taking the most suitable
decision at vulnerable situations and guides the team through a successful process. If a leader
faces the factors, he is uncomfortable with and overcomes his fears; he will be popular for
establishing courage (Cunha, 2016). Vulnerable situations are a part of our day-to-day life
and people often deal with such adverse situations. Many people equate vulnerability with
negativity and fears the chances of failure associated with such situations. A daring leader is
the one who can emerge out successfully from vulnerable situations and choose courage over
comfort.
Answer 1
There are four major skill sets required to be present in a leader who is daring enough
to take control the adverse and sudden scenarios in an organization. The first major criterion
that a daring leader should possess is rumbling with vulnerable situations that might be a
success or a failure at the end. A leader who is daring enough will allow his team members to
work with full freedom and will successfully implant a creative environment in their work
sphere (Brown, 2018). He will efficiently generate discussions boards and enhance
intercommunication amongst the members such that an effective solution is developed at the
end. In this process, he will avoid any kind of blaming, sarcasm and emotional stoicism
towards his employees that will only prevent them to perform at their excellence.
The next skill that needs to be present in a daring leader is the belief in values. A
daring leader is one who will believe in the values of the organization himself and then
influence his subordinates to believe in them too. If he himself does not promote the values
and culture of the organization he is working in, there are least chances that his team
members will obey his orders. He should specifically explain the value set to his employees

and make them abide by those values even in the occurrence of unwanted situations. The
employees under his guidance will be bound to follow the specific culture of the organization
and not distract from them.
It is highly important of a daring leader to gain the trust and faith from his employee
group and this will occur only if he maintains a professional relationship with them. Trust is
an attribute that is not built overnight and takes time to reap in. A daring leader should take
strategic and wise decisions in complicated situations and guide his employees through in the
adverse situations. He should also make sure that he listens, pays attention to their ideas, and
connect with them positively (Byrne et al., 2016). If he can emerge out successfully from
difficult scenarios then the employees automatically will start believing in their leader and
keep faith in him henceforth.
The last quality set of a daring leader is to possess an attitude of rising after failure.
Success and failure are the two outcomes of any inevitable situation and one has to happen at
the end of the process. A leader might fail in guiding his employees through a tough
condition. However, a daring leader will develop his resilience skills and make sure that he
learns effectively the reasons behind his failure. He will also make sure that such failures
never occur again and bring in his courageous self in facing the same scenario all over again.
Answer 2
I was highly privileged to work as a team member under the guidance of a daring
team leader, Mark Jonas, in a renowned telecommunication firm. Mark was daring in his
activities because he was clear enough about his requirements from his employees and could
guide them through the working operations efficiently. He made sure that he has done the
market research before his meetings and was highly attentive to the members of his team
while attending the meetings. Furthermore, he arranged for training programmes for the new
