What hard moment am I avoiding because I'm afraid I'll fail at it?

Most rising generation CEOs can name it within seconds. The client meeting they keep postponing. The conversation with the longtime executive who needs to go. The decision to launch the new initiative. The push to expand into a new market. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, asks readers what they're avoiding because they're afraid to fail. The fear of failure usually scales with the importance of the move. Big moves you're not ready for feel terrifying. Big moves you actually are ready for also feel terrifying because the stakes are real. The question is whether your hesitation is correct or whether it's a doom loop dressed up as caution. Most leaders find that owning who they are, rather than performing the role they think they should play, is what makes the hard move possible. The fear doesn't disappear. The willingness to act in the presence of fear is what matters.
