Experiment Beyond Your Comfort Zone

“To make progress on your leadership challenge, you sometimes have to intervene in ways, or take on roles, that feel uncomfortable or inconsistent with how you see yourself or how you want to be seen.”.[6] When you engage in new experiences you have the possibility of gaining new perspectives. Be willing to get uncomfortable, that’s where the magic can happen.

Questions to Ask Yourself

• What is it about this challenge that matters so much to you that you’re willing to work outside your comfort zone?
• What uncomfortable choice, action, or behavior might be useful in this situation?
• What holds you back from trying something different?
• What leadership styles or actions are uncomfortable for you?
