Constantly there are elections somewhere. And there are always winners and losers who have to pack their bags. As a politician, you are only in office for a limited time. That's why managers can learn a lot from you.
One listens for one Choice often “after the election is before the election” or “we are now looking ahead”. Of course there are winners in every election, maybe even more than voters would like to believe. After all, we've all seen enough "elephant rounds" on election night, where politicians from various parties called themselves winners and you thought in astonishment on the screen: "Excuse me?"
At some point, however, disillusionment sets in. Because in a choice, there are not only winners, but also losers. The big loser was called in the federal elections 2013 eg FDP, which unfortunately pack their bags and take off from the Bundestag. After all, that's the basic idea of a choice. Nice for the winner and bad luck for the loser.
The subordinate candidate could now quietly leave the political stage, draw consequences from personal defeat and turn his back on politics.
However, very few do that, because the respective Candidates have a vision, a Objective, a plan and you follow it with conviction. So it happens that politicians often act according to the motto "fall down, get up, straighten the crown, move on". A possible defeat becomes an acceptable one Risks.
And this is where the bridge to management comes in, because not every vision, every goal, every plan is there either Implementation later successful. Sometimes the risks of the respective action cannot be fully foreseen.
Then that counts Courage in one's own abilities and in the constructive handling of a possible failure. Then mistakes, mistakes and defeats as well as the respective dealing with the consequences are part of it.
However, if you reverse your opponent's defeats and the associated possibility of your own failure, you will slow yourself down and establish a mistake avoidance strategy, which makes the entry of new territory almost impossible.
Only those who realistically consider the possibility of their own failure can break new ground and Welt explore outside of your comfort zone. And sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. The question is therefore not whether potential failure should be avoided by not starting in the first place, but rather how to deal with potential failure.
Because failure is shared by most People as very negative experienced. The key to dealing with a personal defeat in a meaningful way is to face your own negative feelings emotions to become aware. This requires a look back, the conscious perception and balancing of the current situation as well as an open view of the Future.
Embracing the possibility of failure as well as actual failure useful Dealing with it means expanding your personal scope of action, sometimes beyond your own comfort zone. And this applies equally to politics and management.
Unfortunately, many politicians do not necessarily have this ability. In this case, managers cannot learn from politicians. Too bad the opportunity given away.

Hello! Thank you for pointing out my contribution. I've come up with a quote from the best basketball player of all time (Jordan):
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. "
Lots of truth in it. However, I also believe that it is always easier to write something so retrospectively, so if you are already successful. If someone has been unemployed since 2 years, although he has written 200 applications, it is much more difficult to see this as Jordan ;-)!
Yes, you should leave your comfort zone and consciously accept failure and see it as a “source of learning”. But sometimes you have to give up on the basis of a good analysis. Otherwise you will waste your resources. For example, when we realize that we simply have no talent for something (e.g. playing basketball ;-), our real strengths lie elsewhere. But we often cannot fathom this by “thinking”. We have to try it out and fail if necessary. So: be brave :-)!
Thanks for the great comment. I also find the issue of failure very important. However, the culture of failure in Germany is simply very poor. Example of starting a business: Many prefer to leave it alone because they are afraid of failure. See my still valid article series “Better Failure”:
Dear Mrs. Janson,
yes, you are right. Perhaps it is also partly because the failed does not sell well. Instead of inventing any story in order to get away as well as possible, he could also self-assert himself, for example, in an interview, his own share of the failure, what he learned from it, and what mistakes he would not do again. This always impresses me the most when I interviewe applicants. I have also done this myself as an applicant, get the job and thus laid one of the most important landmarks for my later professional career :-)!
Best wishes!
Denis Mourlane
Hello Mr. Mourlane,
that's a great story, I would take that as a job tip. Or do you have more to tell?
As regards the fear of failure: in the case of entrepreneurs, this is also linked to the German insolvency law and the related stigmatization. There is even a club of anonymous insolvency.
