Number 6: Self-Efficacy – The Myth of Triumph and Disaster

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same..."
 


Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s ability to organize and execute a course of action to manage prospective situations.  Successful people tend to have a high sense of self-efficacy.  Winston Churchill’s career was a series of great triumphs and devastating disasters, and through it all he believed he was destined to greatness.  Churchill’s life teaches us how to build self-efficacy in ourselves and in others. 

Self efficacy requires:

1.      Leading by teaching

2.      Setting a positive example

3.      Using feedback

4.      Constantly challenging ourselves and others.
