Managers: The Failure That Never Happened Is Keeping You Stuck
from Stories from the Frontline · host Todd Roberts
Managers and supervisors: fear of failure may be keeping you stuck before you ever even try.In this episode of Stories from the Frontline, Todd Roberts uses the SpaceX story to challenge the way managers think about failure, regret, perfectionism, and growth.SpaceX did not expect every early test to work perfectly. The goal was to test, learn, find failure points, and make the next attempt better.The same is true in leadership.You may be avoiding:Applying for a promotionHaving a difficult conversationDelegating responsibilityChanging a broken processStarting something you have talked about for yearsFear may protect you from rejection, criticism, and mistakes.But it may also protect you from growth, opportunity, confidence, and success.Todd also shares how fear affected decisions in his own career and why regret can last longer than failure.The belief shift is simple:If you never try, you may never discover what you were capable of.This episode is for managers and supervisors who know they can do more, but fear, overthinking, or perfectionism keeps making the decision.Stop wondering. Start trying.Join the Frontline Leader Community:https://www.skool.com/frontline-leader-community-5779/aboutLearn more:https://transformleadershipcoach.comLead well. Live well.
