Part 2
A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.
King Solomon
Wise leaders realize that success is on the other side of perceived failures. They see failure as a part of development and as an opportunity to gain experience and to learn. They are constantly asking new questions, which opens up new perspectives.
Failures contribute to the discovery of weaknesses; our analysis makes it possible for us to take support, practice, and learn. So, even if this sounds rather strange, we will learn more by failing than through success.
Wise leaders consider adversity as temporary information on how far they have come on their journey, and they mobilize people in this way to easily gain new energy and power for the next step.
They are looking for declarations to perceived failure, and they communicate in a way that produces positive energy in their group, thus building an incentive to take even stronger action.
