In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses failure and its importance.

Many leaders and teams dread and avoid failure. Failure can cause pain or a lack of confidence; however, failure can be one of the best opportunities leaders and teams can have for learning.

Individuals that are ruled by failure and limit their interactions accordingly reduce the size of their world and experiences as well. Those that embrace failure as a learning opportunity expand their knowledge and experiences because they are willing to risk.

We encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:

• Are you teaching your team to learn from failures as well as successes?

• What tools do your leaders and teams use to help them identify the causes of failures so that success may be reached?

• Do your leaders risk failure as often as they ensure success?
