EMBRACE THE SUCK.
“ Now that person,” said Shannon,“ will understand that success takes time and patience. And that the boss or supervisor has patience, too. Instead, we all feel the need to act confident, so we don’ t ask questions or ask for help, and that sort of guarantees that we won’ t succeed.”
The problem can begin early in life. Parents, probably the ones with the most early influence, have the opportunity to expect occasional failures instead of demanding immediate success. But, said Shannon,“ it could also be a teacher saying‘ It’ s OK that you’ re struggling, this is supposed to be difficult.’ Or it could be a coach or anyone who interacts with the child. Allow for discomfort, praise the work but help the child understand the struggle, that it’ s part of the process.”
There’ s a saying in the military, said Shannon: Embrace the suck!“ It challenges soldiers to attack the work, accept the difficulty as a part of getting stronger and better at it.”
