Your executive leadership team should be the most cohesive, high-functioning group in your organization, but in most companies, it's the exact opposite. In this episode, Jason tackles why companies train field engineers, superintendents, and foremen but refuse to invest in executive development out of fear. He breaks down the 16 blocks to leadership, explains why pushing executives out of their comfort zones is the only path to growth, and shares why security is mostly a superstition that keeps leaders stuck. If you're a CEO, president, or owner protecting your executives from discomfort, you're protecting dysfunction. It's time to build Team One.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why executive teams need to be pushed out of their comfort zones the most—and why companies are too afraid to do it
The 16 blocks to leadership that keep executives stuck in certainty and significance instead of growth and contribution
How the comfort zone, fear zone, learning zone, and growth zone work—and why emotional discomfort is required for transformation
Why Team One (executive leadership) must be cohesive before Team Two and Team Three can function at high levels
Jason's challenge: Stop protecting your executives and invest in the professional development that will actually scale your company
If you're continuously having to motivate your team, you either don't have a vision or you haven't communicated it effectively. A vision-empowered team is self-motivated. The question is: have your executives gotten past their blocks to leadership together?
