Learning Leadership (Tyler)

Learning through mistakes is just a natural process of learning. I don't believe any great idea was created from perfection. Great ideas were created through imperfection as perfection was desired and sought after. It is the same with leadership. As we "shoot for the stars", we will realize that the stars are so much farther than we originally thought. And so, we will fail. We won't "launch" as far as we originally thought. We will crash and burn. But, if our desire and our will to grow is strong enough, those failures will not stop us. They will encourage us to continue to relaunch and relaunch until eventually we break through the atmosphere and find ourselves amongst greatness. The same principle applies to seeing others fail. You wouldn't attempt to fly the same way that others have flown if you know that way would fail, would you? No! Of course not. You would be grateful for their mistakes and learn from them as they have. You should expect others to do the same to you. It is not taking advantage of your mistakes, but instead, growing from them and helping others. Failures and mistakes are mutually beneficial. Through a series of failures and mistakes, one begins to form what it truly means to be a leader.
