Episode 125 –  Discomfort Is a Signal: How Great Leaders Break Through Plateaus 

 

 

In this episode, Warren introduces you to Jason Jaggard, USA Today bestselling author of Beyond High Performance and Founder & CEO of Novus Global, one of the fastest-growing executive coaching firms in the world.

His team of more than 50 coaches serves Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and government leaders. Jason also chairs The Noble Company, a collective that includes Meta Performance Institute and Multidox Media.

High-performing leaders don’t plateau because they lack skill.

They plateau because they hit invisible ceilings.

In this episode of How to Become an Obstacle Buster, Warren Wandling speaks with Jason Jaggard about the structural and identity-based constraints that quietly limit capable leaders.

As responsibility increases, a critical shift occurs:
What once drove performance no longer produces expansion.

The tension that follows is often misinterpreted as burnout, instability, or failure.

In reality, it may be a signal.

This conversation explores:

• Why high performers encounter predictable capacity ceilings
• The difference between output-driven performance and identity-level growth
• How belief structures, not talent determine long-term leadership expansion
• Why expanded influence requires internal recalibration
• How discomfort functions as data for next-level leadership

For emerging leaders, and mid-level managers navigating increased complexity, this episode offers a strategic framework for sustainable growth beyond metrics.

Sustainable leadership impact is not achieved by pushing harder.

It is achieved by expanding internal capacity.
