#388 Inflatable punch-back clowns
Manage episode 501421873 series 3557145
Resilient teams don't avoid setbacks; they bounce back stronger after experiencing them, just like those punch-back clown toys that pop right back up after being knocked down. Recovery speed determines staying power in teams, making resilience an essential quality for long-term success.
• A resilient team isn't one that avoids setbacks, it's one that bounces back stronger after them
• Every team gets knocked down through missed deadlines, lost clients, or failed projects
• Build resilience by normalizing setbacks as part of the growth curve
• Model composure as a leader—if you lose your head, your team will follow suit
• Build trust early so people know they can fail forward without being crushed
• Don't just ask how your team is performing, ask how they're recovering
