How to overcome the fear of failure Dr Ken Hudson

Avoiding failure is often seen as a key to success, but in reality, failure is a necessary part of the innovation process. However, many people feel a personal stigma associated with failure and are afraid of being labeled a "failure." To overcome this fear, it is important to separate failure as an activity from the individual, view it as a team process, and reframe it as an opportunity for learning and growth. Leaders can encourage a culture of creativity and innovation by sharing their own personal failure stories and encouraging conversations about failure. While failure should be tolerated to a certain extent, repeated failures without learning are not acceptable. It is also important to have goals that stretch and challenge, rather than playing it safe.
