Don't Be Afraid To Make Things Uncomfortable

I wouldn't describe my career as a professional aviator and Marine Corps Officer as a "comfortable" one. In fact, it was quite the opposite; the experience was at times arduous, challenging, & both physically & mentally challenging. Yet I look back at my experience with tremendous fondness and pride.  I believe the reason why is because there must be some sort of struggle to conquer or overcome. Struggle produces significance. Let's face it, business is a fight for survival...so why do we then insist on spending a tremendous amount of resources on to completely de-stress our organizations? Why do we feel like we need to make our employees feel like we are "one big family"? This episode is about busting through these fallacies and showing you that effective leaders occasionally make things "uncomfortable" so as to increase their professional capacity.
