How can you use setbacks and failures to grow as a people manager?

Robert H. Schuller wrote a book - 'Success is Never Ending Failure is Never Final'. Its critical to develop your mind over time and reading regularly is a really great habit to form. The best leaders are generally well read, have plenty of stories and experiences to share of wide ranging topics. Most importantly, the ones with a critical point to make, ending with the moral of the story can make such a positive impact on our lives. Develop skills/attributes that you can actually apply like perseverance, becoming consistent and persistent in reaching for our well defined goals. Gradually you will learn to become 'A meaningful specific, rather than a wandering generality' Everything great was once begged borrowed or stolen from someone else!

Los errores son una de las mejores fuentes del conocimiento, analizarlos y generar acciones para evitarlos son la clave. El equivocarse rápido y tomar acciones de la misma manera, es algo que nos ha servido por mucho tiempo.

Accept what has happened, take responsibility but don't forget to exercise self compassion, the latter is a must I have found. Once the initial emotion has subsided, do extract the learnings and bank them. Whatever the ask was, it probably still took some planning and effort to get there. Celebrate the parts of that which are still valid. Look forward, think growth, think of the outcome as something you have learnt from not just as a failure.

Being open to feedback is an important skill. The ability to take in feedback, without internalizing it, is crucial. As leaders, what we do everyday is like presenting a thesis. We have analyzed and planned to the best of our ability at that time. When we test our thesis in the field, feedback is how we quantify our results. Without this step failure can be eminent.

Cuando se enfrentan las dificultades o cuando los resultados no son los mejores, lo más valioso es identificar la o las causas y generar acciones con enfoque en la mejora continua, es más frecuente aprender de los desaciertos que de los aciertos.

Os fracassos e contratempos são oportunidades de crescimento para gestores de pessoas. Ao enfrentá-los, desenvolvemos resiliência, habilidades de resolução de problemas e empatia. Refletir sobre essas experiências, identificar lições aprendidas e aplicar insights para melhorar nosso desempenho futuro é essencial. Por exemplo, ao lidar com conflitos interpessoais, aprendemos a comunicar eficazmente e gerenciar situações delicadas com empatia. Os fracassos também nos lembram da importância da humildade e da busca contínua por aprendizado. Assim, encarando-os como oportunidades de crescimento, nos tornamos gestores mais competentes, resilientes e empáticos, capazes de liderar equipes de forma eficaz e inspiradora.

The skill of being able to listen to your thoughts and tune into how your body feels and interpret this information along with your emotions... Is self awareness. It's the first skill of resiliency, by being able to interpret this information we can then think critically about it and think rationally about it with some detachment. This detachment can then enable us to feel some self-compassion for whatever went on . This alleviates our stress and anxiety and in turn enables us to learn and move forward. This mindful self-awareness is the absolute Foundation of resilience and is a beautiful skill to cultivate.

Resilience is an important trait to cultivate for yourself and your team. Resilience is when you explore the opportunity to do better even in the face of adversity. Not every idea, conversation, meeting, etc. will go as planned and being resilient will set a leadership example for your team. Emotional intelligence is also key for a resilient leader to wade through negatives to find positives while keeping emotions in check.
