The difference between a good leader and a great leader is the ability to improvise and gently push people out of their comfort zone, so says Vistage Speaker Michael Allosso.
In this TED talk, Charlie Todd helps us see the human connection that results from a shared experience — in this case, an absurd shared experience, one that takes us out of our comfort zone.
Vistage members also have shared experiences; in our case, these happen every month. As the chair and leadership coach, I regularly see the human connection that results.
I wonder about the following:
- Is it incumbent upon as leaders to search for opportunities to create shared experiences in our companies?
- What great things can we accomplish in our companies by pushing people out of their comfort zone and introducing more intentional and improvised shared experiences?
- And by making this push, are we fulfilling a key component of our governance responsibility?
The initial results of my Pivot are excellent. I feel I have much greater clarity regarding the next 3-5 years..
