SEEING THE VALUE IN FAILURE

In my current company, we have created four sets of quarterly goals for this year. Honestly, I hope we miss one of these goals. I do not want to miss the first set or the second, but if we miss the third set of goals, it gives me an opportunity to point out that this is what a little failure feels like and your success is not guaranteed. I’ve managed teams that developed a bit too much ego. That can lead to arrogance and missed goals. If you handle such situations well, it will bring your team back to where they’re hungry and want to win again.
