Building Resilience Through Failure Makes You Irreplaceable

Every leader fails. The question isn't whether it'll happen. It's what you do in the moments after. Do you get bitter, or do you get better?In this episode, Jonathan Malm and Jason Young dig into Chapter 4 of How to Get a Return on Failure by John Maxwell, unpacking how failure can become one of the most powerful tools in your leadership development... if you know how to use it. Jason gets refreshingly honest about a leadership experience that went sideways just days before recording, and Jonathan reflects on why the pressure to perform actually grows the more successful you become.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your response to failure says more about you than the failure itselfHow to ask the right questions after a setback so you actually grow from itWhy the same failure that hardens some leaders softens others and how to make sure you're in the right campThe trap of posturing at conferences (and why the most desperate people in the room often learn the most)How building resilience through failure actually makes you irreplaceable over timeWhy pain and failure by themselves don't produce growth and what actually doesHow to shift from being the person doing the cool things to being the person equipping the people doing the cool thingsPlus a surprisingly rich detour through Pharaoh's hardened heart, Erasmus, and what clay and wax have to do with your next leadership setback.
