The Pit of Success: How Leaders Adapt, Succeed, and Repeat

by Dave Jennings

When people understand The Pit of Success their burdens are lifted and their ability to learn and succeed is increased.

Leaders must routinely face challenges that are beyond their experience. In this space, they feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed. These doubts are shared by leaders across the globe but it is not “leader-like” to discuss such issues. Yet, leaders are not in their job because they have all the answers. They are on the job to find answers. By learning to navigate The Pit of Success leaders gain confidence, find answers, and deliver results faster and with less anxiety.

The Pit of Success provides leaders with the mindset and skillset to do things they do not know how to do. It gives them principles for managing progressively difficult challenges throughout their career. It also gives them peace of mind that they are not the only ones experiencing these doubts. No longer do leaders need to wonder if they are good enough to face the challenges in front of them. What they need to do is learnable and The Pit of Success shows them how they are fully capable to succeed in their demanding situation. The concept of The Pit of Success has already changed people’s lives around the globe.
