You develop failure resilience by recognizing and questioning your emotional response to failure. You must also unravel any story you create around past failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about how to deal with failure at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Developing Failure Resilience&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth courage-building skill is developing failure resilience\u2014that is, mastering how to deal with failure at work, and moving on after something goes wrong. This is an essential skill for leaders to teach, because people are more likely to take risks and try new ideas when they\u2019re confident in their ability to recover from any setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, many leaders teach failure resilience <em>after<\/em> a failure has already happened. Imagine teaching a skydiver how to land once they\u2019ve already hit the ground\u2014you\u2019ll be dealing with a lot of broken bones and a long recovery. In the same way, if you don\u2019t teach your team members how to \u201cland,\u201d you\u2019ll end up wasting time recovering from problematic behaviors\u2014such as covering up mistakes, blaming others, or perfectionism\u2014that are based in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-fear-of-failure\/\">fear of failure<\/a>. <strong>Learning how to deal with failure at work from the very beginning of the onboarding process\u2014normalizes failure, and signals that team members will be supported, not shamed, when (not if) it happens.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching employees how to deal with failure at work is more important now than ever, as millennials and GenZ enter the workforce. These generations are often not well-equipped to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-handle-disappointments\/\">handle setbacks<\/a>, due to being overprotected by their parents. Because their parents focused on paving the road <em>for <\/em>them, instead of preparing them for the bumpy road, they haven\u2019t been exposed to the risk of failure and are prone to reacting defensively to any failures, real or perceived.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mastering how to deal with failure at work requires the two components of failure resilience: 1) recognizing and questioning your emotional response to failure, and 2) unraveling the story you create around failure<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recognizing and Questioning Your Emotional Response<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/shame-resilience\/\">shame resilience<\/a>, the first step to learning how to deal with failure at work is recognizing and questioning your emotional response to failure. It\u2019s not important to know <em>exactly <\/em>what you\u2019re feeling. You just need to know that your emotions have been triggered in some way. Failure responses can take many forms\u2014physical or mental\u2014and are very specific to you. You might feel generally overwhelmed, or like you have a pit in your stomach. You might feel like crying or find yourself unable to stop replaying a conversation in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know your specific failure response, you can identify when it\u2019s happening\u2014this should cue you to take a moment to think about the <em>source<\/em> of your emotions. What happened? Why are you reacting to it negatively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This first step of consciously slowing down and thinking through your emotions is vital to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/productive-failure\/\">productive failure<\/a> response. If you don\u2019t have your emotions in check, they\u2019ll drive you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/defensive-behavior-in-the-workplace\/\">defensive behaviors<\/a>. <strong>Those who recognize and think through their emotions can <\/strong><strong><em>respond <\/em><\/strong><strong>thoughtfully<\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong>to failure instead of <\/strong><strong><em>reacting <\/em><\/strong><strong>negatively<\/strong><em>. <\/em>However, instead of facing their vulnerability and doing the hard work of engaging with their negative emotions, most people choose the easier route of pushing those emotions aside or onto other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unraveling the Story You Create About Failure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking through the failure and what <em>really<\/em> happened is important because in response to failure, your brain naturally makes up a story to explain what happened. Unfortunately, this story is almost never true\u2014instead, it\u2019s pieced together by incomplete information, and usually concludes with a worst-case scenario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very hard to resist piecing together incomplete information to make a story, because patterns and connections coming together gives your brain a jolt of dopamine. You\u2019re <em>wired<\/em> to look for and invent connections and patterns in the absence of complete information. Imagine that a colleague spoke to you curtly. You\u2019d likely immediately think, \u201cJane is being short with me today, I must have done something to bother her.\u201d Your brain invented a connection between your actions and Jane\u2019s tone\u2014whereas if you\u2019d gotten full information you would have known that she\u2019s exhausted because her daughter was up all night, and her tone wasn\u2019t intentional.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These stories usually conclude with a worst-case scenario because doing so gives you the opportunity to preemptively protect yourself. Imagine your boss emails you, \u201cWe need to talk.\u201d You think he\u2019s upset about a report you turned in late and is going to yell at you or even <em>fire<\/em> you, so you avoid speaking to him all day. It turns out he just wanted to talk about the new intern\u2019s performance. By protecting yourself against the imagined worst-case scenario, you\u2019ve wasted the day harboring anxiety and avoiding a meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is learning how to deal with failure at work important?
