Über diesen Titel

 Failure often comes with a negative connotation in our society, but the truth is that it plays an important role in success. In fact, failure is not only necessary for growth; it actually paves the way for achieving greater levels of success and fulfillment both personally and professionally.

In this episode of Frontline to Boardroom, I chat with Ben Seesink who served in the Royal Australian Engineers, Australian Army. After a post military career in consulting and project management, Ben founded his own business, BOUW, a company that helps businesses win defence contracts and provides bespoke solutioins for the design and operations of shooting ranges and training facilitiesfor the Australian Defence Force and other security agencies.

Ben shares the leadership lessons from his lived experiences in the military and how they can be applied to business. He talks about how failure is essential for growth and how it can provide insight into the direction you should take to reach your goals.

Ben's story is an inspiring reminder that failure can often be a learning opportunity, and using those experiences to propel you forward is important. He also speaks about how leaders need to cultivate an environment of trust and understanding for their team members to feel secure enough to take risks and learn from their mistakes.

If you want to learn how to turn failure into success, this episode of Frontline to Boardroom is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Ben's story and discover failure's vital role in achieving success.
