I would say in life, fear is the biggest barrier to many challenges and certainly overcoming one’s fears is a step in the right direction. But I am not sure that many affiliates who do not remain active or quit too soon are doing it out of fear of success. Nothing can change in a person’s life until that person chooses to and in my opinion the biggest hindrance to change is fear of the unknown and many people stay in the same position because of this kind of fear. In many ways those people who have a fear of success are also afraid of the unknown when they become successful. Will they be able to handle success? For example, if a person gets to a position of influence in which his or her decisions affect the welfare of others, the biggest fear for that person is whether he or she has what it takes to make the right decisions. That person can certainly overcome those fears by learning from others (where the difficult lies) and applying themselves. A few mistakes here and there should not make one fall but rather learn and move forward.
The team leader should certainly minimise fear of the unknown in their team members by not overloading them with information and by being supportive rather than putting pressure on them. If they ask questions it is a good idea to respond to their queries. The team leader’s success should inspire team members to do the same.
Fear is our enemy but we can defeat it!
