The Brilliance in Failure
A Leader’s Learning Journey
by Christian A Brickman

Our frank talk reveals that, not only is failure part of any executives life it’s a critical opportunity to reflect and grow. The ability for a leader to face his own mistakes is an important part of that person’s job. It sends a strong signal to others and shows that failure isn’t something to hide from.

How a leader responds to those challenges, and more importantly, how he or she learns and grows from the experiences, will define his or her long term potential as a leader.

In this book the author shares some of the failures he endured during his career and the most important lessons he derived from those experiences. The Brilliance in Failure is a unique look into the career of a successful executive and the many mistakes that he made on his leadership journey.

Those mistakes and failures created huge opportunities for personal growth and turned out to be essential to his success over time. The author’s central message is simply that failure is not something to be feared, but rather to be embraced as a learning opportunity that can shape your leadership style and expand your personal impact on an organization.
