Episode Description
Sometimes we can learn a lot about leading a business team by stepping outside the business world and examining a successful sports team. In sports, if you want to win at the top level, there are so many things you have to do well beyond just the physical skills - such as building a strong team culture, mentally preparing for adversity and building the right leadership model for your mission. While not all sports require the same level of teaming, sailing does. Thus, it’s a great place to look at how teams win and lose.

💡 About the show:
There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth. Business today typically values and promotes leaders for their subject expertise. Leaders who have command of the details and execute based on knowledge and experience are highly respected. However, to grow as a leader you have to get out of your comfort zone – that means learning to lead without just being the expert. Learn to gain the trust and respect of a team that might know more than you do. Get comfortable with ambiguity and with not having all the information. Develop the skills and confidence to lead in a different way.
For female leaders, subject expertise is usually the source of their confidence. Learning to lead outside your comfort zone is one step for breaking through the glass ceiling. The show’s purpose is to give you tips on how can you develop the capability to lead – to get out of your comfort zone.
