What do Charles de Gaulle, Steve Jobs and Roger Federer have in common? Not just success. But also failure. In The Virtues of Failure, Charles Pépin explains a powerful idea: Each test confronts us with reality. To our limits. To our deep desire. And it is this confrontation that makes us: ▪️ more lucid ▪️ more combative ▪️ more creative ▪️ more alive Steve Jobs is fired from Apple. He comes back more visionary. He founded NeXT, which was bought 12 years later by… Apple. Roger Federer, in his debut, loses. He is green with rage. He throws his racket. He explodes after certain defeats. And yet, it was during these years that he was built who would become one of the greatest players in history. Failure is not the opposite of success. It is often the condition. In leadership as in mental preparation, the real question is not: “How to avoid failure?” But: -> “What am I learning about myself through this failure?” I share with you in the comments 3 questions to transform a challenge into a lever of power.
