In this episode, I share some thoughts from one of my latest books, LEADER SLIPS (Learning and Leading Through Failure). There is great value in looking back in order to see forward. Although we shouldn't use our past as a compass, we can use it as a reference. In spite of my many past mistakes, here I am today, still fudging and forging new adventures in life and leadership. I am continually learning that life often takes what we have so that we will have what it takes. My leadership journey has been a cycle of failing, processing, learning, proceeding, succeeding and doing it all over again and again. Many leaders are trained in the classroom, but few are developed in the clash-room. It's not as much about what we’ve learned to do but more about what we’ve learned to endure.
