Winston Churchill was known for many things – always looking
for ways to move onward after a trial or challenge chief among
them. That’s the perspective we all should hope to have when life’s
crucibles knock us for a loop. When setback and failure are
all-too-common companions. When we’re wrestling with our own
darkest hour.
This week, as part of what we’ve dubbed our series within the
show – Stories from the Book Crucible Leadership – we have a
deep-dive conversation about what a great role model of
perseverance Churchill is for all of us hoping to turn our trials
into triumphs.
Though he faced personal and professional crucibles all his
life, Churchill rose above and moved through them by doing some
critical things right: leaning into pursuits like writing to calm
his soul; a happy marriage he worked hard at protecting; and
-- maybe most importantly – adopting a magnanimous and
forgiving nature when family, friends and political opponents
disrespected or outright attacked him.
“Success,” he once said (and then modeled throughout his
life), “is to go from one failure to another with no loss of
enthusiasm.”
