Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting distress. — © Alan Hirsch
Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting distress.
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of the real distress and also the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of the spiritless condition. It is the opium of the people.
When people ask me what philosophy is, I say philosophy is what you do when you don't know what the right questions are yet. Once you get the questions right, then you go answer them, and that's typically not philosophy, that's one science or another. Anywhere in life where you find that people aren't quite sure what the right questions to ask are, what they're doing, then, is philosophy.
As you set off into the world, don't be afraid to question your leaders. But don't ask too many questions at one time or that are too hard because your leaders get tired and/or cranky.
If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?
I feel that people need to be jolted out of their comfort zones.
If you don't understand, ask questions. If you're uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway. It's easy to tell when a question is coming from a good place. Then listen some more. Sometimes people just want to feel heard. Here's to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding.
We want to take ourselves out of our comfort zones; when you're in your comfort zone for so long, you only play to a certain level.
People have to be pushed out of their comfort zones to be able to see things for what they are.
It's my job... to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don't do it gratuitously.
Leaders who can push themselves beyond their comfort zones and understand how to harness the power of reverse innovation have the chance to become the next great visionaries.
Comfort zones are deadly zones because you lose your true potential of what you can be, you start going with the status quo.
I want to take people out of their comfort zones and teach them to rely on their team-mates.
It is intelligent to ask two questions: (1) Is it possible? (2) Can I do it?. But it is unintelligent to ask these questions: (1) Is it real? (2) Has my neighbor done it?
I like extreme situations: people pushed out of their comfort zones; the civil veneer stripped off.
Whenever you move to a new atmosphere, the first few days are difficult. But I always felt that an actor needs to move out of his comfort zone and experience different working environments. And that's why I was looking at moving out of my own comfort zones and work with different kinds of people. It helps you grow as an actor.
Listen to your body's wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing a certain behavior, ask your body, "How do you feel about this?" If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, watch out. If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed.
