When A Leader Gets Too Comfortable…
Pretend for a moment that this is your scenario…
You are a leader. You worked hard, experienced some sense of success and now you like where you are in your career. You have finally figured out the system, got the right staff or team, and there are no current problems. Life is comfortable.
My advice: Now may be the best time to consider a change.
The fact is that if you are comfortable now, you will likely be bored soon. Leaders need change, stretching, and an opportunity to improve something to stay excited.
You don’t necessarily have to leave your organization, or even your current position. You may already be at the top, but you may need to expand your responsibilities. You may need to dream a new dream. You may need to challenge yourself outside your comfort zone again.
It’s what keeps leaders motivated!

Yes! We've got to stay uncomfortable; that's where all the NEW is.
I like that, “where all the NEW is”.
