We talks about our progress, we talk about our achievements, and rarely do we mention our failures? Success can be happenstance and often results in arrogance but failure creates humility and the need to learn what went wrong, where it went wrong, how to avoid the mistakes in the future and lastly what to monitor and what else to closely control.
I don’t want to confuse failures as the motive to grow but the experience and the learning from the experiences as the driver! Obviously those bruises that did not result in any learning are just as good as those arrogant successes.
Failure projects another interesting facet the measure of resilience. A brittle leader is not a leader at all! The quintessential ability of a leader is his or her actions to resurrect from the ashes like a phoenix; nothing tests that better than failure. Leaders are dealers in hope so not just do they have to inspire their team but gather support for their ideas and intentions.
