When Bad Stuff Happens to Good Marketers
How do you handle workplace setbacks? I think it is an important topic given all the energy that goes into our working lives.
Recently, the maven had a huge setback thrown at her (a ten-month project gone south). Of course, one puts on a good face and attempts to forge ahead. It’s not easy, though. Successes are a lot more fun.
I think there are at least two critical factors to consider here. Being able to re-think one’s strategy and formulate a new plan is key. Think President Clinton, the “comeback kid” who actually thrived when the chips were down. There’s also the matter of finding personal strength. My morning run does help provide some fortitude.
No one wants to face such setbacks, but they do happen. And knowing how to deal with these situations is key for all working adults.
