  • Importance of failure

    We need to start talking about failure as life's master instructor. Experiences in failure are less about not finding success than they are about problem solving, and the skills cultivated as a by-product of failure are the skills many brilliant entrepreneurs have only come to possess by failing.

  • Dealing with criticism that cuts

    Distance Yourself From the Situation to allow you to calm down. Do not react or take it personally.  Try to Understand Your Boss's Intentions.  Is he's upset with your performance or exceptionally stressed or prone to say things he doesn't fully mean? Summarize the Criticism.  Repeat back exactly what you think she's driving at. Try and word the criticism in a more positive light. "so you're saying I need to find a new work strategy so I can improve my performance?" Explain Your Perspective.  The more specific you can be here, the better.  Engage in a Dialogue.  Work together with your boss to hash out the unspoken details of the criticism. Suggest an Action Plan and make sure to follow it. Consider Giving Criticism of Your Own  if the criticism is misdirected.  Tell your boss that his/her criticism was unwarranted or unhelpful, but suggest alternative strategies he/she can use in the future to make his/her criticism better.

  • Influencing for the wrong reasons

    If you feel like you're influencing others for the wrong reasons, ask: How am I drawing attention to myself, and away from others? What is the organization missing while it’s focusing on me? If my company relies on me too much, what happens if I need a break, or become ill, or want to do something different? What do I do when I don’t know what to do and have not built up others to contribute? What do I do when all my old tricks of charisma or being “smart” don’t suit some future challenge? What happens if my moral compass becomes shaky, or if I did not develop one before becoming the charismatic leader everyone adores? If I have created this reliance on me, who will help me recognize this and change?
