You are allowed to change direction! How to know when to continue, change direction, or let it go.

<p>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?</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>Because resilience is not about white-knuckling your way towards a goal that no longer fits. Real resilience includes the ability to adapt.</p><p><br></p><p>Join LeadWell Academy:</p><p><br></p><p>Find this episode helpful? Then LeadWell Academy is for you!
