As a business owner in this age of rapid technological change, with the surge of worldwide competitors, setbacks and adversity are virtually guaranteed. I found that view confirmed for a wide range of leadership situations in a new book, “The Mindset of Success,” by Jo Owen. When you can’t control everything, control what you can, and move forward in offense rather than backward in defense. The best business leaders convince themselves that they can find a way through any adversity. Drawing on experience helps to build perspective, but it also should give you some hints about what will work and what will not work in your current situation.
