Failure Happens

Failure happens. We don’t like it to happen, but it does.

According to Jim Collins, “We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history or even our staggering defeats along the way. As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains”. In his book, How The Mighty Fall, Jim writes about common mistakes of organizations in a state of decline and what leaders can do to reverse negative patterns.

On the plus side, we can choose not to let our personal (or organizational) failures defeat us.

Is ultimate decline a choice? Does the choice rest only on the top leaders shoulders? What are tactics that you have used that have avoided, detected, and reversed decline?

Thoughts welcome.
