Success Insights – Growing through navigating rough seas

Leaders are typically busy.  There is always something on our agenda and every activity is important.  The better we are at leading, the greater our influence, the more packed our agenda is with critical matters.  So, for many of us, it would be ideal if our world would consistently run smoothly, enabling us to get all our priorities addressed. Life would be a breeze, and we would be able to make it through each day with normal heart beats. If only!

The reality is that it is rare that a leader will have two consecutive trouble-free days.  I hesitate to say consecutive ‘good’ days because, even days of trouble, once we navigate them successfully, can turn out to be quite beneficial. This is where the challenge lies my friend.  It is hard to accept, that we must not only live with problems and difficulties, but we must learn to accept them, value them and use them as catalysts for growing.

When we change our perspectives in keeping with this truth, then we would not avoid bad days and reject adversity, but welcome them as opportunities to develop our resilience and creativity.  In fact, growing leaders actively venture into new areas and situations, that they are not familiar with, and which stretch their abilities, because they understand how necessary this process is for their continued development and advancement.

Often good leaders are multi-talented.  Overcoming normal challenges for them soon becomes a walk in the park and complacency sets in.  Don’t get me wrong my friend, I am not saying that they stop working diligently. That is not the case. What really happens is they begin to do only what is comfortable, settling into regular routines and easy pickings and they stop growing, no longer seeking to chart new territory.  This can happen so subtly that it takes a while to realize that their success has plateaued.
