Each time we take a risk and it fails we have another opportunity to begin again. Each time we face a difficulty we can stand up and try again. Each time we plan and fail and try again, we are building inner resources.

Yes, failure is part of success only when we learn the lesson and change ourselves. However, too many organisations either punish failure instead of learning from it, or they "learnt" from it but fall short of making changes. Delete the scoop?

5 Transitions Great Leaders Make That Average Leaders Don't Via John Michel, Wise Leader™
David Hain's insight:
Nice article from Mike Myatt.
AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight,
June 17, 6:48 PM
Thanks to John, David and Wise Leader! Great scoop.
From the article:
Develop Awareness– Great leaders are self aware, organizationally aware, culturally aware, contextually aware, and emotionally aware. They value listening, engaging, observing, and learning over pontificating. They value sensitivity over insensitivity and humility over hubris. Leaders who come across as if they know everything haven’t fooled anyone – except themselves. 
Doris Palomino's curator insight,
June 18, 10:24 AM
The 5 key transitions the author proposes make you think about how great human beings we expect great leaders to be: (1) find purpose, (2) people first, (3) develop awareness, (4) shun complexity, and (5) get personal. And I could not agree more about the fact how many people assume the responsability to lead but only a few can do it well: "Average leaders spend time scaling processes, systems, and models – great leaders focus on scaling leadership".

"Every time I think of Nelson Mandela, the great South African leader, the first thought in my mind is we need more like him. We are ready and in serious need of leaders to inspire us and motivate us with action as much as words. Leadership is hard to define, mostly because it means different things to different people. We know it requires knowledge, strength and compassion. We expect leaders to be fair, to share our values and provide direction. That to me is what leaders like Mr. Mandela represent."

4 Ways To Handle Rejected:
1. Stop The Negative Self-Talk
The harshest words won’t come from the person doing the rejecting. They’ll likely come from you. Don’t over interpret the “rejection.”
~“I’m never going to get promoted” ~“I will never be successful at this company” ~“I don’t have what it takes” ~“I don’t know how to play the game” ~“Maybe I’m not that smart” ~“It’s too late” ~“I’m not cut out for this”

Even those leaders who understand strategy and its virtues are struggling to implement. Booz & Company’s survey of 3,500 global leaders, including 550 CEOs and 325 other C-suite executives, reports a serious lack of cohesion within organizations. Consider these staggering statistics: 54% of respondents didn’t believe their company’s strategy will lead to success. 53% couldn’t say whether their employees understood the strategy. Only a third believe the company’s core capabilities fully support the corporate strategy. Ouch!

John Michel's curator insight,
June 19, 2:55 AM
Often we know what it is we want to do, but we still don’t do it. Why? Because we are innately risk averse and afraid of putting our vulnerability on the line. The status quo, while not particularly fulfilling, can seem like an easier, softer, less scary, option. Indeed, advances in brain imaging technology can now verify that we human beings are wired to be risk averse. In other words, we find it much easier to settle with the status quo, keep our mouths closed and our heads down rather than make a change, take a chance, or speak up and engage in what I call a “courageous conversation.” Delete the scoop?

Leaders without heart are well manicured cemeteries, pretty to look at but full of dead bones. Everything is cold technique and dead strategy apart from heart.
“True meaning” grows hearts. Find purpose; find heart.
