What is Edgework?

Whenever we are on our edges—the edge of our capabilities, the edge of our knowledge, the edge of our confidence—we are in a place of potential growth. However, working out on those edges is not an easy place to be. Edgework is when one chooses to stay on those edges, even to look for them, knowing they are where our learning lies, as individuals, as leaders, as team members. If we are not engaged in Edgework, then we are not growing our ability to make a difference in our organizations. It’s that simple. And that hard.
