    Dr. discusses the importance of reframing failure as a tool for growth and self-reflection, especially for leaders and overachievers.

The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by minority leaders, particularly black male leaders, in organizations and the importance of perseverance in the face of setbacks. Dr. highlights the value of using failure as an opportunity to address blind spots and improve self-awareness, while cautioning against confusing growth with conformity in organizational settings.

    The conversation also touches on systemic barriers faced by minority leaders, particularly African American men, and the importance of creating cultures of learning in organizations through vulnerable leadership and storytelling.
