Out of the Comfort Zone
There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth. Business today typically values and promotes leaders for their subject expertise. Leaders who have command of the details and execute based on knowledge and experience are highly respected. However, to grow as a leader you have to get out of your comfort zone – that means learning to lead without just being the expert. Learn to gain the trust and respect of a team that might know more than you do. Get comfortable with ambiguity and with not having all the information. Develop the skills and confidence to lead in a different way.
For female leaders, subject expertise is usually the source of their confidence. Learning to lead outside your comfort zone is one step for breaking through the glass ceiling.
The show’s purpose is to give you tips on how can you develop the capability to lead – to get out of your comfort zone?
Out of the Comfort Zone
Making Decisions in an Uncertain World with Haywood Spangler
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There is never enough data to be certain any given decision is a good one or not. The more senior you become, the harder it is to be sure. Data is incomplete and unclear, there are competing interpretations, and advice goes in different directions. It is uncomfortable admitting you don’t know or you don’t know what the data means? So, we seek certainty.
There is a better way to approach such situations. How do you reach a decision when there is conflicting information? How do you recognize what is likely to be untrue? How do you make good decisions in the face of so much uncertainty? How can you improve your reasoning skills in an ambiguous world? How can you improve your reasoning skills in an ambiguous world? Listen in for a unique perspective and tools you can use.
