3 pitfalls to avoid after a loss
1. Catastrophizing
It is possible to make too much of a bad thing. Exaggerating the potential downside of a loss may make you feel more righteous, but it will not help illuminate your strategy or give you energy for the fight ahead. Focus on what you know to be true. Remind people of what is still possible.
2. Turning on each other
It is an unfortunate human tendency to take out our frustrations on those nearest to us. Mistakes are amplified and a scarcity mentality kicks in. This is the time to let go of blame in favor of analysis, assume positive intent, and work at keeping relationships healthy and strong.
3. Short-term thinking
The loss didn’t happen overnight and neither will it be turned around over night. So do what you need to do to defend and progress now, AND carve out time to think and plan well into the future. The trends are still positive. The future bends toward justice.
