CEO SUCCESS 64 REAL-LEADERS.COM / WINTER 2022 5. WhitneyWolfe Herd FOUNDER & CEO, BUMBLE Quote: “When you accept that failure is a good thing, it can actually be a huge propeller toward success.” Why it Works: Failing once, twice, or even hundreds of times doesn't mean you've hit the end of the road — it means you're one step closer to success. These experiences give us an opportunity to learn, find new solutions, and grow as individuals. Pro Tip: The author of Enlightened Entrepreneurship, Chris Myers, recommends these three tips for accepting, processing, and learning from failure: 1. Don't worry about what people may think; everyone is too preoccupied with their own lives to notice. 2. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, learn from the experience and use it as an opportunity to grow. 3. Accept that failure is part of the journey and keep moving forward; it's impossible for you to really fail. 6. Ambika Singh FOUNDER & CEO, ARMOIRE Quote: "Recognizing how your employees work — and knowing that this takes individual attention — is important to being a successful leader.” Why it Works: Motivated employees are more likely to think creatively, go above and beyond, want to learn and grow, feel personally connected to the company, and ultimately drive the business forward. Pro Tip: Find out what kind of environment your employees thrive in by asking your employees these three questions: 1. What is your favorite project you've ever worked on, and what made it your favorite? 2. What was the best team you were ever a part of and what made it the best? 3. Which of your former bosses brought out the best in you? What did they do, or not do, that you appreciated? "AN AUTHENTIC ETHOS IS WHAT DRIVES RETENTION AND PROMOTES INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS. WE CREATED A CULTURE WHERE IT’S OKAY TO FAIL, TO LEARN, AND TO GROW." — AMBIKA SINGH
