Obstacles can't stop you from moving forward, they just redirect the path you need to take in life. What stands in the way becomes the way. Via Ariana Amorim

One of the hardest things in life is to know when to keep going and when to move on. On the one hand, perseverance and grit are key to achieving success in any field. On the other hand, telling someone to never give up is terrible advice. Successful people give up all the time. If something is not working, smart people don’t repeat it endlessly. They revise. They adjust. They pivot. They quit.The key question is: how do you know when to give up and when to stick with it? One way to answer this question is to use a framework I call the 3 Stages of Failure.

When it comes to success, it’s easy to think that people blessed with brains are inevitably going to leave the rest of us in the dust. But new research from Stanford University will change your mind (and your attitude).
Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude is a better predictor of your success than your IQ.
Dweck found that people’s core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Via The Learning Factor

Carol's work on MINDSET is fascinating and offers lots of insights on who to consider for ventures, teams and projects. "The deciding factor in life is how you handle setbacks and challenges. People with a growth mindset welcome setbacks with open arms." So consider a mindset where every experience is an experiment you can learn from rather than a personal win or loss.

or some time now it has been recognised that IQ alone is not going to make you successful, whatever your field. Today, even academics have to be more entrepreneurially oriented. And if you are in business - then it goes without saying that the it will not be the meek, but the entrepreneurs who will be the inheritors of the earth! |

We are programmed at an early age to think that failure is bad. That belief prevents organizations from effectively learning from their missteps. Via Ariana Amorim, Kevin Watson

Recognising the inevitability of failure in today’s complex work organizations is vitally important. Those organisations that catch, correct, and learn from failure before others do will succeed. Those that wallow in the blame game will not.

One of the biggest roadblocks to success is the fear of failure. Fear of failure is worse than failure itself because it condemns you to a life of unrealized potential.
A successful response to failure is all in your approach. In a study recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers found that success in the face of failure comes from focusing on results (what you hope to achieve), rather than trying not to fail. While it’s tempting to try and avoid failure, people who do this fail far more often than those who optimistically focus on their goals.
This sounds rather easy and intuitive, but it’s very hard to do when the consequences of failure are severe. The researchers also found that positive feedback increased people’s chances of success because it fueled the same optimism you experience when focusing solely on your goals. Via The Learning Factor

You want a team full of motivated employees and a rocking company culture. You're doing everything you can, but somehow it's just not working. Turnover is still high. Employees look good on paper, but seem to get demotivated no matter what you do. What could be going wrong?
Your human resources team could be the culprit. It's time to take a hard look at your company's interviewing practices.
Sometimes HR wants to "sell" a really great candidate on the position. So they start telling them all of the great things about being a part of the company or fulfilling the role they're trying to fill. There's nothing wrong with that on the surface. The problem arises when HR starts making promises on your behalf. Promises you can't keep, or won't keep, for whatever reason. Via The Learning Factor

When employee turnover is high and morale is low, it's time to take a good look at the promises your human resources department is making to new hires. |
