We are often taught that persistence is a virtue: finish what you started, stay the course and never give up. But what happens when the evidence changes – or when the goal, strategy or version of success you once chose no longer fits?
In this return episode of LeadWell with Jacqui, we explore the sunk cost effect and escalation of commitment: the psychological forces that can keep leaders and individuals investing in decisions simply because they have already put so much into them.
Through personal reflections, leadership examples and the well-known stories of Kodak and Blockbuster, I explain why changing direction is not necessarily failure. Sometimes, it is the most thoughtful and courageous decision available.
You’ll learn how to review your choices through three forms of evidence – results, energy and alignment – and decide what you need to continue, change or let go of.
Because resilience is not about white-knuckling your way towards a goal that no longer fits. Real resilience includes the ability to adapt.
