Stepping On The Line

Yesterday, I heard someone describe another person like this, “She steps on the line.” I didn’t know the person being described but loved the description and was pretty sure I would be impressed with her. The comment suggested that she will skirt the edge by pushing the boundaries. I was imagining that she likes to test the boundaries and push the limits. This description also indicated her willingness to take risks and challenge the status quo.

This also got me to thinking that, as leaders, we also have to step out of line. Sometimes we need to take risks. By seeing the big picture we can connect with what’s needed. We need to dare to stand out and be willing to head somewhere off the beaten path.
