Funny that you would refer to Jack Welch in the same piece where you talk about learning hard lessons. In 1963 he somehow blew up one of GE's labs. The biggest question I had when I read Jack Welch's biography was "How did he literally burn down one of his company's buildings and somehow parley that into near immediate promotion?!"

Every time you step outside your comfort zone, your comfort zone gets a little bigger.
