How many times have you had a situation at work, or at home, where you felt ‘knocked off-kilter’, ‘thrown for a loop’ or ‘disgruntled’?
Probably not often (wink). But for you who have experienced something like this, think about a particular situation. Did it come from a meeting, conversation or project that didn't go so well, some harsh feedback, a flub as a public speaker or something that you just didn't expect? It often feels like "failure."
It happens to us all, and as painful as it is, this is a place where there lies an abundance of opportunity for growth in effective leadership.
