March 26: Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

Step outside your comfort zone

Leadership growth happens when you expand beyond your default style. Like building any muscle, developing leadership flexibility requires pushing beyond comfortable patterns. The initial discomfort you feel when using a non-default style diminishes with practice, ultimately expanding your leadership range.

Take Action: Choose one interaction today where you'll intentionally use a style different from your default. If you're naturally collaborative, be more directive in a specific situation, or vice versa. Afterward, reflect on how it felt, what challenges you encountered, and what results you observed.
