Embrace failure actively, rather than passively, and learn from your mistakes to drive future success.
Start with a clear understanding of your 'what' - what you want to accomplish, as the 'what' drives the 'how' and allows for the discovery of creative solutions.

Embrace Failure and Take Risks as a Leader
Failure is not a bad thing, but rather a necessity for growth. Playing it safe means you're not pushing yourself enough. Unusual times demand unreasonable leadership, and being strategically unreasonable can lead to innovation and breakthroughs. Embrace failure actively, rather than passively, and learn from your mistakes to drive future success.
Think What First, Then How
Start with a clear understanding of your 'what' - what you want to accomplish. Having a clear vision and goal is crucial for success. Don't get caught up in the 'how' before defining the 'what.' The 'what' drives the 'how' and allows for the discovery of creative solutions. If your 'what' is compelling enough, you will find a way to achieve it.
Embrace and Overcome Limitations
Limitations can fuel innovation and drive growth. Rather than waiting for more resources or making excuses, embrace your limitations and see them as an opportunity for finding creative solutions. Great innovation often comes from working with limited resources. Believe that you have everything you need to succeed and seize the opportunities that come your way.
Lead with Unreasonable Faith and Vision
Unreasonable leadership requires thinking bigger and stepping out in faith. It means believing in the potential for success even in the face of obstacles and uncertainty. Lead with a bold and passionate vision that inspires and motivates your team. Don't be afraid to be unreasonable in your pursuit of making a difference that will outlast you.
Unusual times demand unusual leadership. Luckily, you aren’t a usual leader. You’re driven, passionate, and willing to be unreasonable. Today, Craig shares why we need “Strategic Unreasonableness” in leadership and gives three ways to think unreasonably.
