People will tell you to wear a mask and play safe, but it’s a trap. A failure is a learning: a natural part of being alive, growing and even innovating. Next time you catch yourself at the error zone, celebrate it with a big smile.
What's at Stake
How well you handle life's curveballs.
The Jerk Way (to Avoid)
Eager to blame others or hide problems? Jerk leaders avoid being wrong at all cost for as long as they can.
