As you reach the point in your career where you have been promoted to a role that requires you to lead outside of your expertise, your success depends in part on how well you learn to work with differences and how open-minded you can be to different perspectives. It’s a point of discomfort and it’s the point at which you have to stretch beyond the ways you have worked up to this point. How should you think about differences in styles, work patterns and perspective? How does emotional competence impact your ability to be open-minded? How can you think about and even assess differences?

💡 About the show:
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.
