As leaders, there will be times that we blow it. It's inevitable. What's important is to know what to do when it happens, and how to recover.

In this episode, Chris Fuller and Brett Duncan start with the story of Linwood Fiedler, an experienced musher who managed to fall asleep while driving his team of dogs, and stay asleep while falling face first into the snow. His team pushed ahead without him to the checkpoint, and Linwood followed on his own about 4 hours later.

How do you RECOVER as a leader? Chris breaks down a few approaches:

1) Re-Focus on the next checkpoint, and nothing else.

2) Take time to re-evaluate and re-charge.

3) Learn from the failure without getting caught up in the emotions of the failure.

4) Rework your plan and redeploy accordingly.

What does mature leadership really look like?

While we may think of those experienced and wise in leadership as knowing how to influence people and situations to serve their needs and wants the most, the opposite is actually true. Mature leadership grows in its ability to put others first.

Put another way, immature leadership is focused on self. But mature leadership learns that the more you focus on the needs of your team, the more successful and fulfilling everyone becomes.

In this episode, Chris Fuller and Brett Duncan discuss what this really looks like, the true purpose of a team and how to assess your own level of leadership.
