| Ep 122: REBOOT - Resilient Leadership and the F Word | 26 Jan 2022 | 00:12:44 | |
Today we are going back into the archives to listen again to an episode that resonated with many different leaders. It’s where we talk about the importance of the four letter F word: fail. It’s a powerful force – and if we are to be healthy and resilient leaders we must face this concept of failure directly and courageously. 1. What’s your favorite leadership mistake? What’s the leader fail you’ve committed? What was it and why is it your favorite? 2. A great question to ask yourself in the midst of failure: “Did we do any learning yet?” “What can I learn and how can I grow from this situation I am in?” “What can I learn for next time?” 3. How do you define success? How do you define failure? Because how you define those terms will define you. 4. And like Ray Dalio, “Have I or am I creating a culture in which it is okay to make mistakes and unacceptable not to learn from them?” LINK: J.R.’s book on failure he wrote to help ministry leaders – Fail: Finding Hope and Grace in the Midst of Ministry Failure *** Connect with J.R. | |||
