Creating a Culture of Courage:
Take the Fear of Failure
Off the Table

This article is also a podcast. Tune in here.
Creating a culture of courage takes a lot of, well, courage.

  • How do you react when one of your team members points out a mistake you’ve made?
  • Have you ever reacted defensively when you’ve made a mistake? Even blamed another person?
  • How often do you stop moving forward with an opportunity because you’re concerned about how you’d look if it fails?
  • Do 100% of your team members feel 100% confident sharing 100% of their ideas and suggestions?

OK, that last bullet’s a little lofty but, imagine how many great ideas you miss when people are working in a culture where the leader isn’t comfortable with his/er own mistakes?

Your fear of failure is contagious. If you’re worried about looking like a fool, everyone who works in your company is too. If you brush your mistake under a rug, that tells everyone that that’s how we handle our mistakes around here. If you blamed someone else or made excuses, you are modeling how everyone else in the business should handle their lapses and errors.

“A lot of things have changed over the last three years. When we first met with Inspire Results Business Coaching, I was doing a lot of tasks throughout the business. I was doing purchasing, I was doing accounting, I was doing the actual physical work—issuing our POs, closing our books, and things of that nature. And then Roger came. One of the first things he did was delegate all of my duties to other people. We hired a purchasing agent, and freed up a lot of my time where I could work on the business instead of in it. He’s taught me how to act like an owner, act like a president, delegate my duties downward, and look at things with a different perspective to look at things going forward five years, instead of what’s going on today.”
