Failure doesn't always have to be cast as a negative thing. In fact, there are many instances when failure can be seen as a positive. In this week's show, Lee tells you why it might be time to re-frame those negative setbacks, and look at them with a more constructive eye, beginning with leading by example.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Social media is awash with purely perfect perspectives - displaying only the things that make us appear to be faultless, but this isn't authentic.
- There is a safety to be found in perfection, or at least the sight of it. As humans we strive for commonality and feelings of comfort.
- Whether we're delivering change or leading teams, we need people to be open and honest throughout. This promotes truth, and allows us to solve problems in a far more efficient way.
