Perseverance: a skill that will lead your business to success

Many companies have suffered from the radical change that has taken place in the labor market over the last ten years. The requirement for work experience and qualifications has given way to "soft skills."?Today, small and large companies are looking for these transferable skills par excellence, which allow them to constantly progress. Perseverance is a very current gentle skill. If your employees aren't persistent, how can the company weather the storms? Perseverance is a matter of disposition, which you can encourage or reinforce in your employees.

The modern labor market has long underestimated the importance of?soft skills?such as?perseverance. Until then, technological skills were preferred to communication skills, leadership skills or voluntary attitude. But now, companies like yours are about to?rediscover the importance of soft skills.?Perseverance is an?extremely useful transferable skill.

What is perseverance?

The?gentle skill of perseverance is?the?ability to cope with the small annoyances of life. It can be translated, in particular, by?the confidence to undertake. According to Richard St. John who sought "the lessons of success",?perseverance is one of the secrets of success.

However, it's not just about being confident and not giving up easily. Perseverance also translates into determination, as well as the ability and desire to learn new things. It allows you to show a?spirit of personal development.?Learning to persevere in the face of barriers is?a real asset in today's job market. Perseverance, at work as well as in life and studies,?leads to success.

Whether you call it tenacity, perseverance or determination, it comes down to the same thing. When these skills are lacking within a team, the reasons can be diverse and complex. What is clear is that this?will hurt your business in the long run. What are the main reasons why your employees are reluctant to undertake?

• A lack of confidence?in their abilities
• The?feeling that the situation is "hopeless"?and cannot be corrected
• Stress and anxiety?about their performance at work, leading to avoidance tactics

Perseverance also represents the?ability to overcome negative attitudes?and instill strength in others. "Joy-flaps" demoralize everyone, while those who?demonstrate leadership skills?will be followed by all.

How perseverance can benefit your business

It is an?important?leadership skill?that demonstrates personal?investment. No one will follow a deflated?person or someone who is not able?to make decisions.?To turn the tide, all it takes is?one person showing perseverance?and determination. Vital for your supervisors and managers, these qualities are also highly expected in management positions. A team is as strong as its weakest link. That is why,?in any position, being persistent is essential.

The main benefits are:

• When a project goes wrong, you need?capable and willing people to straighten you up and turn failures into successes.
• Learning from mistakes is the right way to grow as an individual and as a company.?Mistakes provide us with valuable life lessons.
• Perseverance builds and?gives the courage and confidence to undertake new things.
