Don't Fear Failure....

Your real danger in leadership isn't failure.

It's your lack of emotional intelligence.

No business or organisation can outperform its leaders' skills, including emotional intelligence, over the long term.

Most leaders avoid taking risks, play it safe, and stick to what feels comfortable, expecting extraordinary results.

What's the result? 
- same leadership skills
- same leadership results
- nothing changes, year after year.

Leaders can learn a lot from high-performing, gold-medal Australian Olympic swimmers who are judged by their performance on a high-pressure stage.

- Ariarne Titmus (Swimmer): "I firmly believe that the mental aspect of swimming is much more important than the physical."
- Emma McKeon (Swimmer): "Dream big, take risks, and chase your passions. Life is too short to settle for anything less."
- Molly O'Callaghan (Swimmer): "You've got to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Once you get past that, then you're quite free to swim."

To become a top 1% leader (much like an Olympic athlete) and sustain your success over the long term, you have to get uncomfortable, take risks and start with the inner work:

- leadership mindset
- leadership emotional intelligence
- leadership habits

Because technical skills and experience alone won't land you in the top 1%.

Don't fear failing.
Fear not learning, developing and growing your skills.
