Point of View
We are on a constant journey of learning and teaching. Keeping our eyes and ears open, life becomes a series of events that we can grow and learn from – be it success, failure or somewhere in between. Everything we do, experience, and see is an opportunity to learn from and grow. As we progress in life and our careers, we have the responsibility to lead, grow and mentor others while remaining open to learning. I have had the pleasure to work with and advise many CEOs and entrepreneurs, and the consistent theme among them is how they viewed failure as a part of the process, a mere bump in the road, nothing to shy away from. These were some of the most valuable lessons to learn from, which in turn became examples to lead and teach about.Recent Articles from Joseph Gwozdz
