In this brief talk, Tom Krieglstein explains how deliberately overcommitting—agreeing to take on tasks outside one’s expertise—can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and higher performance. He illustrates the concept with a concrete example: accepting to run a strategy retreat for an organization in an industry he knows nothing about. Rather than declining, he commits, then immerses himself in intensive research to understand the industry and the client, ultimately delivering an outstanding program. Krieglstein frames overcommitment as a purposeful strategy to push oneself out of the comfort zone, acquire new knowledge, and achieve levels of success that would otherwise remain unattainable.

Chapters

Sometimes I over commit with promising to do something because it pushes me outside my comfort zone and actually challenge myself to do something that maybe I wouldn't normally do. Sure, I can do that. Strategy retreat for your organization in an industry that I know nothing about. But now I know I'm gonna do that program. So what I do is I go and do all the research that I normally never would do to learn about the industry and your organization so that I can create an amazing program. Strategy ret for your group. Think about how over committing in your life might be a way to push yourself to new levels of success that you didn't think about before.
