Something that seems to be coming through from folks recently is the fear of screwing up - or being seen to screw up.
An example of what I mean
I work in a fairly fast paced enviroment and I've worked hard to encourage my team to foster a culture of excellence.. In order to make this a reality it's neessesary to make the culture equaly supportive of screwing up...
The whole thought behind this is you are not pushing beyond your comfort zones if you are not screwing up occationally... Which may appear counter intuative.. but better to be hauling people out of trouble than having to push them to do stuff.. Yes the idea is not haivng to haul them out of trouble but the bottom line is fostering of bravery of the attempt.....
But don't limit yourselfs to work - I mean life too....
Anyone got view on screwing up, making yourself more comfortable with fear of failure, encouraging yourself to be brave or do things you normally wouldn't do.
Some possible examples
Chatting to the girl in the shop
Asking someone out
Moving countrys
Leaving your partner
Quitting your job
Things stop you doing stuff you want to do... what helps you feel the fear and do it anyways (sorry thats the title of a book)
