Being comfortable with the uncomfortable

It is not easy to be comfortable with things that are unfamiliar and not within the realm of our experiences and background. So what do we mean when we talk about diversity? I hope we have been talking about the invisible diversity, because if not we have been fooling ourselves!

I think as leaders we need a team of people who can think different and question things from multiple different perspectives. I strongly believe as leaders we need to identify and assemble a team of deeply skeptical individuals that can some where along the way hold hand firm and tight. Its like a voyage on a yacht, you question the direction at each point but once the team agrees they all pull the ropes in the same direction with gusto and alongside every one else!
