Is it necessary that the successful man MUST be courageous?

good leaders should be courageaos , e.g  you need courage to expand, make tough decisions, and change direction ...etc

i believe being courageous is aquality that some people have .it isn't neccessary that all courageous people are successfull.

but i believe  that successfull people have qualities including being courageous.

courage is a good attribute but certainly isn't enough for success

Courageous and risk taker with fire in the belly. 

A successful person must be courageous but not all courage people are successful.

Success depends on taking right decision most situations - some could be vital which may offer utmost challenge to take decision. In these situations, he needs courage to take decisions.....

A successful man must be courageous..

Successful person must be Tactical, Strategic and Visionary.

But while taking any decision, he needs COURAGE along with above three qualities otherwise .........

Not neccessary because for everything there need a balance as sometimes showing you are courageous can go WRONG. because situation will demand to step back and then react someone who simply jumps in with over confidence to show courage can end up looking like a fool and could also be harmful. So , thinking twice before taking any decision is good in any situation.

The art of influencing people to do willingly what is required in order to achieve a goal is the essence of leadership. This definition applies to a wide spectrum of circumstances, ranging from the military battlefield to corporate/business situations. Its premise is valid in virtually all contexts of human endeavour where leaders and followers interact to achieve a desired objective.

To reinforce the importance of courage in the corporate/business context, consider some high-profile situations where courage was demonstrated.  Indeed, there are numerous examples that required leaders to demonstrate  courage.  Whether they involved product-harm crises, negative economic impacts, corporate reorganizations, organizational re-sizings and others, the situations required leaders to demonstrate courage in the face of adversity. 

Success doesnt come over night which means becoming successful is not an instant but a chain process. Courage is one smal but important part of this process. During the process if it falls, chain falls. 

only the courageous will be successful...
