Last week we talked about the qualities that define leaders.

But what differentiates great leaders from good leaders?

Clearly having equal measures of competence defined by capability and results, with character defined by intent and integrity...that great balance between EQ and IQ.

However success at the next level, whatever that is, can originate from the lessons of the past.

Reflect on the famous names below and how they emerged from what many would consider career defining disasters. There is no question that having the resilience to bounce back from adversity and the courage to try new things and fail define the great from the good.
