Stretch Assignment

Definition: a Stretch Assignment is any new project, task or role that is clearly beyond one's current expertise or abilities.
It is also a very valuable leadership skill-building experience surpassing things like action learning, mentoring, relationships, 360° assessments, exposure to more senior leaders and formal classroom training.
