"Leading is inevitably frustrating and emotionally demanding, yet leaders get little training in how to deal with painful emotions. Since the global pandemic, stresses on leaders have only grown. To remain effective in an age of anxiety, leaders must build the capacity to act in spite of unpleasant emotions, and bring a learning mindset to novel challenges. Leading Outside Your Comfort Zone draws on a wide body of research to show how well-being and resilience emerges from this struggle -- from continuing to learn in the face of unpleasant emotions. The book offers leaders tools for building everyday resilience and learning how to: Face new challenges Improve progress toward goals; Improve productivity during discouraging, apparently "unfruitful" periods; Overcome frustration; Build confidence and a mindset of stress-less productivity; Build resilience throughout the organization.

The book focuses on five tools that help leaders develop positive emotional engagement, creative problem-solving, learning identity, flexibility, and social support"--
