In prolonged periods of uncertainty like the one we’re in right now, it’s natural that we take a more cautious approach to things. But what if that fear of the unknown also leads us to avoid failure and the powerful lessons we stand to gain that can help us achieve real success? In this latest edition in my Leadership Espresso Shot series on my podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe“, I share 4 steps leaders can use to overcome their risk avoidance by transforming failure into success.
As with my leadership keynotes and corporate training sessions, these 4 steps are revealed through a story I share in this episode that reveals a common approach we all take – and how that approach can actually limit our potential to not only find the best path forward, but to discovering new opportunities for growth and success.
I’m not going to give away what the story is about, other than to say it’s a personal one that came to mind recently because of a personal milestone for my family. But I can tell you the lessons shared here are very timely, especially as debates continue to rage on over the future of work, when the truth is, the answer has already been spelled out. It’s just that some leaders are just refusing to see it.
So do yourself a favour and take a few minutes to listen to this episode. Who knows – it may help you address some of the challenges you’re grappling with, and give you the steps you need to take to transform those setbacks into your next success.
