FEAR OF FAILURE/LEADERSHIP/SUCCESS

Do you want to be successful?  Do you want to be a great leader?  First thing you need to do is learn to fail.  The more biographies that I read about great people the more I come to realize that the common trait that they have is their lack of fear when it comes to failure. 
Great generals.  Business leaders.  Professional athletes.  They all have failed spectacularly at some point and then learn to get up and go forward.  I see the opposites in overall failures.  People become so paralized by fear of failure that they either have micromanagement styles or they can't make a decision.  Often both. 

​Those who learn to overcome their fear of failure and let go often learn that organizations flourrish in their absence.  This is hard to swallow for some people.  It means they're not as important as they think they were.  For future leaders this is a revelation and a godsend!

It's somewhat ironic that the less you can care the better you'll do.  The less you care about money the more you can save.  How is this?  By unleashing the shackles of micromanagement you are then able to leverage the talent of others.  Do you think it makes more sense for you to go to law school, accounting school,  and business school in order to effectively run a business or should you leverage the talent of others who are actually better at those things than you are?  The latter of course.  Don't go get a medical degree just because you caught a cold.  CHALLENGE AN EXISTING DOCTOR TO CURE YOU! 

Important Steps
1. What can you do better?  Find a job that causes you to fail often and quickly.  If you work in sales and hate cold calling, go work for a telemarketer on the weekends and/or nights.  
2. Become oblivious to the outcome.  Stop caring and move on.  What you need to be obsessed about is the learning and not the result.   
3. BE PASSIONATE!  Maybe this should be number 1 because without passion there is no leadership.  Nobody follows unpassionate people into battle.  
4. Communication.  Communicate your passionate vision to others.   You might be passionate but you have to find a way to relay that to others.
