I don’t know about you, but disappointment leaves me feeling all down and upset, maybe even angry. However, let’s face it, disappointment is a part of life, we’re all going to experience it. So how do we as leaders manage this? We can start by not expecting everything to always go our way. Next we can have a mindset that helps us accept setbacks, then find another solution to our plans. One helpful tip is to not personalize disappointment, that is, let’s not blame a specific person as that doesn’t really help. Finally, we must remember that a disappointment is not the end, there are better things coming, and we will experience much more success if we persist.
