Responding to Failure as a Leader

Failure is a fun topic to talk about. Responses to failure can vary depending on the severity of the failure…but generally speaking, if your first thought is “They should be punished!” you probably need to adjust your thinking…but also, if your first thought is, “Ah, it’s not a big deal.”, you also need to pivot your thinking.

Failure is a very natural and imporant part of the success cycle of a company. If you are doing anything of value, you will come across failures of all sizes. The key is to show the failure respect, there isn’t punishment, there isn’t avoidance, there is just understanding and growth. If you seek to understand the failure and act on putting things in place to avoid it in the future, it’s now become a positive part of your growth as a company/team/individual.
