When vision is bold, there is bound to be discomfort.
Leadership that chooses to work towards a desired reality far beyond the confines of the known takes a great deal of courage. And to press beyond existing limits is always a difficult task. Not for the faint of heart.
It is a choice that involves and produces risk. There will be fits, starts and periods of inertia. But without commitment, action with full intention and the fortitude to leave safe harbor, there are no avenues for growth.
When venturing out into the great unknown is too daunting, there is scant opportunity for improvement. Without embracing risk, average will have to be the accepted standard of achievement. And only wishful thinking can produce any notion of excellence.
True, leaving the comfort of the known creates discomfort.
It does command committed effort. Demands personal accountability. Beckons courage and character. Assignments coveted by those that choose to be bold.
Embraced only by leadership truly visionary.
