Positive Leadership: Adversity is an Opportunity


NVIDIA Co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang reports that most of his time on the job is spent brainstorming with managers and leaders and helping them brainstorm through tasks and opportunities. He believes it is essential to train talent to effectively control a different product line, a new geography, or even to take his place. 

Succession planning of a closed set of hand-picked individuals is a toxic process, says Huang. Instead it's best to treat all employees as a next generation of leaders to build a better environment and long term stability.

He also believes that: “it is important to foster a culture that embraces mistakes and an environment where anyone can have a great idea. The majority of great ideas come out of mistakes and adversity. Adversity should be seen as an opportunity rather than a life-threatening event."
