Failure. It’s a harsh word. No one enjoys failure. No one ever really says, “Hey, I really want to fail today so I can learn.” Yet failure is an inevitable part of human existence and it plays a central...

Stressed, time poor - read this! 'Most people these days are stressed out by the fast pace of life, economy, and worries about the future. In a recent survey, conducted in the UK, a whopping 86 percent agreed that "people would be much happier and healthier if they knew how to slow down and live in the moment" (Mental Health Foundation, 2010). It is no wonder that mindfulness has rapidly gained attention in the popular press and is one of the few complementary medicine techniques to be offered in hospitals and clinics worldwide. But what exactly is mindfulness?' Excellent short introduction to mindfulness by Dr Melanie Greenberg. Delete the scoop?

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".

The harshest words won’t come from the person doing the rejecting. They’ll likely come from you. Don’t over interpret the “rejection.”

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?

Good definition of failure
Failure in the entrepreneurial vernacular is reframed as intentional iteration and experimentation. It’s not failure in the catastrophic sense. Failure is simply a portfolio of setbacks, false starts, wrong turns, and mistakes that are expected and tolerated because the entrepreneur purposefully iterates in order to gather new, relevant, and timely information. Through iteration entrepreneurs seek not to kill an idea but to make it better, and this happens through an anticipated cycle of pivoting and adapting.
Don't use the F word, simply pressing and unimportant.
