Researchers studied two mobile phone companies trying to solve a technological problem. One company developed what it called a ‘technology shelf,’ created by a small group of engineers, on which (1) was placed possible technical solutions that other teams might use in the future. It also created an open-ended conversation among (2) its engineers in which salespeople and designers were often included. The boundaries among business units were deliberately ambiguous because more than technical information was needed (3) to get a feeling for the problem. However, the other company proceeded with more seeming clarity and discipline, (4) dividing the problem into its parts. Different departments protected their territory. Individuals and teams, competing with each other, stopped sharing information. The two companies did eventually (5) solve the technological problem, but the latter company had more difficulty than the former. 

The word ‘courage’ takes on added meaning if you keep in mind that it is derived from the Latin word ‘cor’ (1) meaning ‘heart.’ The dictionary defines courage as a ‘quality which enables one to pursue a right course of action, through (2) which one may provoke disapproval, hostility, or contempt.’ Over 300 years ago La Rochefoucauld went a step further when he said: “Perfect courage is to do unwitnessed what we should be capable of doing before all men.” It is not easy (3) to show moral courage in the face of either indifference or opposition. But persons who are daring in taking a wholehearted stand for truth often (4) achieving results that surpass their expectations. On the other hand, halfhearted individuals are seldom distinguished for courage even when it involves (5) their own welfare. To be courageous under all circumstances requires strong determination.
