They feel they're a fish out of water. - Mark Cruth on Work 20XX

#leadership #bear #comfortzone

You got to take people out of their comfort zone. Put them in a spot where they're not, like in danger. But from a sense perspective, they feel they're a fish out of water.

So they take a bunch of leaders and they bring them out to the wilderness. They would teach them out on a spot where maybe they were reliant on other people, and then they had to figure out how to work then as a team because that's one of the biggest issues that he would see is that these leadership teams were never leadership teams. They were a group of leaders.

As they were going through this they would expose them to things like a bear. They actually worked with a circus trained bear. And they would bring it in. And they’d bring the bear in and people would, they would be like that aspect of adrenaline that they went through, it just right straight to the amygdala. Exactly. And it was like how they reacted together with that.

And they told them afterwards why they did it, but it was just. It's one of those things where you have to pull yourself out of the moment.

That's kind of like what these events for me are about. It's like we get people out of their normal work environments to show them what's possible in work. You know, I get so many people come up and they’re like, this conference is so different than any other conference I go to. And I'm like, I want you to remember that feeling.
