Embracing discomfort and assessing pain points is necessary for growth as an individual, team and organization. In this episode, Shandel and Melanie discuss the first stage in the Process for Sustainable Growth, which is Pain.
The ACTion steps in this stage is: Assess the Gaps, Character, Competencies & Capacity and Trailblaze through the pain.
It’s important to dig into root causes rather than just symptoms is important to create effective and sustainable change. Character, competencies, and capacities should be assessed to understand where development is needed. Tools like 360 reviews, SWOT analysis and feedback surveys can help objectively evaluate strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.
Leaders must do the difficult work of self-reflection and assume responsibility for issues rather than blaming others. Trailblazing through pain is a privilege that requires courage and humility and creates a path for others to follow.
In the Pain stage, it's easy to off ramp into the Cycle of Misery. That happens when we go away from our values, not necessarily intentionally or with negative intentions, but something else gets in the way, such as fear, frustration, or ego. Self-awareness and leaning into our values is key as we assess the pain and find the best path forward.
Growth happens in cycles, and periods of pain or discomfort are inevitable and should not be feared but seen as opportunities for learning and improvement.
