The Behavior That's Holding Leaders Back


Listen Later

It seems right now there are no easy decisions. It's uncomfortable for us as leaders to be living in a place of uncertainty. But as today's guest explains, leadership isn't comfortable. When faced with a crossroads of choosing character over comfort, most leaders will say they choose character however, subconsciously we are often choosing comfort. In order to create better communities, we’ll need to embrace the discomfort of doing what’s right. Listen as Quint Studer and Dr. Janet Pilcher discuss examples of the subtle behavior of choosing comfort and what it takes for us to overcome it. 


This episode addresses questions, such as:

  • Where are some common areas that we get stuck choosing what’s comfortable?
  • How can we build the courage it takes to make decisions that stem from character, not comfort?  
  • What’s at stake if we aren’t willing to embrace the discomfort of making the right decisions? 


You can hear more from Quint at our upcoming 2-day virtual conference, Destination High Performance Pensacola 2020. Day 1 will focus on leadership tips, tools and considerations, and Day 2 will focus on building a vibrant community. The event is scheduled for October 28th and 29th. Register for free now.
