“In every organization, everyone rises to the level at which they become paralyzed with fear.”
— Tribes, Seth Godin
In other words, “when you do a great job, you get promoted. And that process repeats itself until finally you end up in a job you can’t handle.”
This is usually fine…until it isn’t.
When people stop trying to become leaders, they become complacent — they become followers.
It’s uncomfortable to give a speech. It’s uncomfortable to do something that can fail. It’s uncomfortable to challenge others. But in this discomfort, the leader is born.
And I believe we are all leaders, at least, we should all try to be one. If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing.
