Failure is inevitable, but how we respond to it reveals so much about our character. In this episode, Alex and Ben reflect on what it looks like for a leader to grow through failure. They explore the different ways people might define failure based on their personalities, discuss the difference between failure and mistakes, and share practical advice for leaders looking to respond in a healthy way after their team experiences a failure.
