What do you do if your strategy fails and you need to develop a growth mindset?

Aceitar o erro. Esse é o primeiro e mais importante fato. Aceitar o erro n?o significa acomodar-se com ele. T?o pouco se flagelar por ele ou utiliza-lo como ferramenta de auto-sabotagem. N?o justifica-lo ao acaso, tentar suaviza-lo ou engrandece-lo. Se você n?o compreende e aceita o erro, duas coisas podem ocorrer: 1 - você n?o aprende com ele. Você n?o pode corrigir o que n?o vê; 2 - você passa a temer o erro. Sinto lhe dizer, mas o seu erro n?o foi o ultimo. E se você fizer tudo certo, voltará a errar. O segredo está em procurar a resposta a seguinte pergunta: O que eu poderia ter feito para evitar o erro? Uma vez que descobrir a resposta, basta seguir em frente! That’s life. Haverá outros erros a serem cometidos. Este, n?o mais.

I would be careful of framing anything as a "failure". An outcome you would prefer not to have happened sure. But all strategies are "bets". You can't be right all the time. If you've been really honest in the strategy development phase you would already know how many assumptions you had to make in your strategy, how uncertain success is and how you forged ahead anyway. Be proud you made and pursued a strategy and committed to learning from the outcome and you are doing better than most.

Be incredibly honest about the risks you as a leader took (and the business). From there, define why you took the risk in the first place, and how you identified it wasn't working - this will give your team the piece of mind that you're not making decisions blindly, and you know how to measure success. I'd recommend showing the statistics on what went well, what didn't go well, and how your team decided to pull the plug on a failed strategy. I'd also emphasize that no business can be successful without making "bets" and there are inevitably going to be mistakes made. The winners are the ones who learn, analyze why they lost - quickly, and try something new again, and again, and again.

One other thing to keep in mind during acceptance of reality is to not focus so much on the problem and the trying to find out who and what people were involved in bringing such problems. Acceptance doesn’t also equate to self blame , it is simply saying “alright this has happened, what’s next “

Acknowledge Your Feelings: Allow yourself to feel whatever emotions arise in response to the situation. It's normal to feel a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, frustration, or disappointment. Recognizing and acknowledging these feelings is an important part of the acceptance process. Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, can help you stay present in the moment and cultivate acceptance of your current reality. By focusing on the here and now, you can reduce anxiety about the future or regrets about the past. Challenge Unhelpful Thoughts: Notice if you're engaging in negative or unhelpful thinking patterns, such as catastrophizing or black-and-white thinking.

A Force Field Analysis is an excellent tool for your team to analyse where the strategy has failed. It looks at forces driving the movement toward a goal or blocking movement toward it. It encourages the team to be pragmatic in their assessment and take ownership of where assumptions were wrong or misjudged. The results of the FFA should help the team get back on track and discern the actions required to achieve the strategy.

Identify the Failure: Clearly define what went wrong or what didn't turn out as expected. Pinpoint the specific event or circumstance that led to the failure. Examine the Factors: Consider the various factors that contributed to the failure. This could include internal factors (such as personal skills, decisions, or actions) and external factors (such as circumstances beyond your control, market conditions, or the actions of others). Reflect on Decisions and Actions: Reflect on the decisions you made and the actions you took leading up to the failure. Were there any mistakes or errors in judgment? Were there opportunities to make different choices that could have led to a better outcome.

Absolutely as I have said earlier quoting George Bernard Shaw ‘Mistakes are the portals of discovery’ they help uncover new knowledge that were it not for the fact that you tried and failed you may never have learned.

Don’t Relax after a strategy fails , Analyse the reasons and work towards improving them ! The rule is not to give up , But to restart !!

Stay Curious: Approach life with a sense of curiosity and wonder. Ask questions, seek out new experiences, and explore topics that interest you. Cultivating curiosity keeps your mind open to learning opportunities in everyday life. Be Open-Minded: Stay open to new ideas, perspectives, and ways of thinking. Recognize that everyone has something valuable to teach, and be willing to listen and learn from others, even if their viewpoints differ from your own. Embrace Challenges: View challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to be avoided. Welcome difficult tasks and situations as chances to learn new skills, develop resilience, and expand your capabilities.

Analyze all the steps again in a team, and brainstorm if the strategy was over-ambitious. Once this is done, realign them, learn what needs to be unlearned, and rework the strategy with this new learning.

If you don’t have a growth mindset your strategy has already failed. But when you find yourself facing challenges that seem insurmountable pause, reorient, reorganized, plan and execute. Move forward.

Embracing learning after failure involves adopting a mindset that sees failure as an opportunity for growth and improvement. Here are some ways to embrace learning after failure: 1. Acknowledge the failure and allow yourself to reflect on what went wrong; accountability is critical. This self-reflection is crucial for identifying areas that need improvement. Embrace learning as you go. 2. Analyze the failure and identify the specific mistakes or missteps that led to it. Understand the root causes and examine what you could have done differently. Use this knowledge to create a plan for avoiding similar mistakes in the future. 3. Use the lessons learned from failure to adapt and adjust your approach.

Make sure that strategy and tactics well studied and understood at a role play session by team members Details are very critical should be executed without any excuse and exception. Team should have the specific target to achieve and reach best practice with full commitment

Strategy is dynamic. It needs to be cognisant of the evolving context, and evolve with it. What may have seemed like a great strategic direction at one point in time may be less relevant further down the track. A growth mindset is essential when dealing with an evolving context - be prepared to consider and assimilate new information and perspectives. Differentiate between the more static and dynamic elements - preserve what you can, and be willing to adopt necessary change.

A flexibilidade permite que você se adapte a mudan?as inesperadas, gire sua estratégia quando necessário e aprenda com os erros para se tornar um líder mais resiliente. Mantenha uma abordagem pragmática e focada nos resultados, priorizando solu??es eficazes e adaptáveis. Busque feedback contínuo de diferentes stakeholders para avaliar a efetividade da estratégia e identificar áreas de aprimoramento.

I would add another step which should be “know yourself”. The most important power we all have is the understanding of our weaknesses and strenghts, to better know on which skills and capabilities we can build our resilience and where we can bright the most. Growth mindset should start as an inner journey. Attitude in front of our challenges will define your success

1. Seek Feedback 2. Reframe Challenges 3. Practice Self-Compassion 4. Cultivate Persistence 5. Celebrate Progress 6. Stay Flexible 7. Foster a Culture of Learning 8. Develop Adaptive Thinking 9. Visualize Success 10.Set SMART Goals 11.Build a Support Network 12.Practice Gratitude 13. Stay Committed to Personal Growth By embracing these strategies, you can develop a growth mindset and navigate failures with resilience and determination.

Building resilience starts with you and with your mental and physical well being. You must prepare for the long game. It also requires strength in depth, surrounding yourself with people who are better than you. It requires that you encourage contrarian views and even dissent. Nobody should ever be called to order because they genuinely thought that something was wrong, encourage people to call it. It’s about courage. Resilience requires also that you delegate decisions to the lowest level possible, and even then if things go wrong you share the learning opportunities. You do not throw a subordinate, to whom you have delegated responsibility to, under the bus because they made an error. If they made a violation that’s a different story.

First, it's crucial to maintain a clear head and focus on problem-solving rather than dwelling on the failure itself. This can be achieved by developing scripted routines and simple rules that allow for improvisation in times of crisis. It's also important to understand the granular processes that underpin your strategy and be prepared to adapt them. Building a network of communication within the organization can facilitate dialogue and help navigate through the complexity. Moreover, fostering supportive relationships and nurturing a sense of self-worth among team members can contribute significantly to resilience, as it strengthens the collective ability to withstand and recover from setbacks.

Mental and emotional resilience is so important to help you stand tall, endure and even thrive when the challenge gets tough. It prepares you for setbacks and curveballs, ensuring you can always recover and continue progressing. If you’re struggling with your resilience it’s time to: - Cultivate a supportive network - (coaches, mentors, friends) - Embrace challenge - (not fear it) - Mentally prepare for adversity - (even practise putting yourself in challenging but low risk situations.) - Celebrate the wins (consider keeping a success journal)

Une stratégie doit toujours être claire, simple, objective et pragmatique. Force est de constater que beaucoup de stratégie présentées actuellement ne sont qu’une énumération de plans d’actions court-termistes, non chiffrés et irréalisables. Cette tendance a clairement entamé la résilience de beaucoup de managers qui pourtant représentent le principal levier de motivation et d’activation des stratégies. En effet, il ne peut pas y avoir de succès sans résilience car une stratégie se déroule rarement sans adaptation. La résilience est donc la principale compétence comportementale nécessaire afin de s’adapter intelligemment aux évolutions cycliques d’un métier.

Cultivating resilience, in my journey, has been all about bolstering my ability to navigate future hurdles. I've learned the importance of establishing a supportive atmosphere where taking prudent risks and reflecting on the outcomes is encouraged. Personally, surrounding myself with individuals who propel me forward positively and offer insightful criticism has been transformational. Realising the significance of mentally arming myself for potential difficulties has been key. It involved embracing the mindset that challenges, when they appear, can be confronted confidently and with a lucid perspective. Through this approach, I've managed to turn obstacles into valuable opportunities for growth.

Lembre-se de sempre comemorar com a equipe que fez parte de tal contribui??o estratégica, assim, motivando a equipe com futuros ajustes e contribui??es estratégicas.

Moving forward with a new strategy requires careful planning and execution to increase the chances of success. Here are some key steps to consider: 1. Start by defining the objectives of the new strategy. 2. Ensure everyone in the organization understands and aligns with the desired outcomes. 3. Evaluate upstream and downstream environments to identify strengths, weaknesses, and threats. 4. Establish specific, & measurable goals that align with the strategy. 5. Breakdown the goals into actionable steps and assign responsibilities. 6. Create a detailed action plan. 7. Involve key stakeholders in the planning process. 8. Build a Strong Implementation Team. 9. Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure success.

Es la alternativa que nos inclina a seguir hacia adelante y propender por unos mejores resultados en el corto y largo plazo teniendo un foco y norte definido

En una larga vida laboral siempre nos caeremos y frenaremos en nuestro crecimiento . No obstante la caída puede ser de la dureza que sea que mientras mantengamos las ganas de levantarnos y volverlo a intentar siempre lo conseguiremos . Nunca hay que tirar la toalla siempre hay que volverlo a intentar . Y una vez te levantas te das cuenta que te ha servido para aprender muchísimo. Y no volver a cometer ciertos errores

When faced with a failed strategy, instead of immediately pivoting to a growth mindset, take a step back and analyze the failure objectively. Understand the root causes of the failure and learn from them. Embrace the discomfort of failure as an opportunity for growth rather than avoiding it. Iterate on your approach, incorporating the lessons learned, and be willing to adapt your strategy accordingly. A growth mindset isn't just about blindly pushing forward, but rather about continuously learning, adapting, and improving based on feedback and experience.

If your strategy fails, it's an opportunity to learn and grow. Developing a growth mindset involves embracing challenges, persisting in the face of setbacks, and seeing failure as a chance to improve. Reflect on what went wrong, identify lessons learned, and adjust your approach accordingly. Remember, setbacks are temporary, and with a growth mindset, you can turn them into stepping stones toward success.

Before saying a strategy has failed, it is worth assessing why it has failed so you don't make the same mistakes again. Did it fail because: - It was flawed in the first place? - You were outflanked by a competitor? - It could not be implemented successfully? - It did not resonate with stakeholders, in particular consumers and partners? - You were not agile enough? Unless you can outline your reasons for failure, you're likely to repeat them.

One must always be ready with plan B, C.....to deal with the situation and should never give up. If one strategy fails, other plans may succeed.

Best example would be to watch and learn how a baby crawls and walks the very first time. I would never call the falls of a baby as failure . Not every baby follows the same pattern and always works towards it's own strategy based on what it considers as success or needing improvement. It's quite simple , go back to this mindset.
