In my work with leaders, I often use the image of a donut to help describe the way we live and learn. Life inside the donut hole represents our comfort zone. That’s where life is safe, familiar, comfortable, and potentially a little boring. Conversely, life on the donut reflects our learning zone. This is where we grow, stretch and experiment. This is where we feel alive, inspired and awake. This is where most leaders live, constantly learning, growing and developing. Now, life on the edge of the donut is the outer edge of our learning zone. This is terror’s edge, and most people—even good leaders—never get past it.
在与各位领导者合作期间,我经常用甜甜圈来形容我们生活和学习的方式。甜甜圈洞里面的生活代表我们的舒适区。在这里,生活是安全的、熟悉的、舒适的,可能还有一点无聊。相反,甜甜圈上面的生活则是我们的学习区。我们在这里成长、拓展和尝试。在这里,我们感觉更有活力、受到鼓舞,并保持清醒。大多数领导者都位于学习区,在不断地学习、成长和发展。而在甜甜圈边缘的生活,便是学习区的外边缘。这里便是恐惧边缘,大多数人——即便优秀的领导者——都无法突破这个区域。
For years, I taught leaders around the globe to avoid terror’s edge. I went so far as to say that people who are self-aware can control their lives so that they stay in the learning zone. And up until recently, I had done that myself. I had crafted a pretty amazing life and a pretty wonderful career in my learning zone, but then my battle with infertility pushed me beyond my terror’s edge. I am not comparing my challenge with that of navigating GM through the largest automotive recall in history, but those female leaders probably never imagined they would face the extraordinary challenges they did. But face them they did. Pushing past terror’s edge is where tremendous inspiration, growth and extraordinary leadership can emerge.
