Carried away

We all make mistakes, and more often than not, it arises as a result of us getting carried away and making the wrong judgment. Welcome to the PiXL Pearls, where we dissect pivotal moments across time and place, to identify what we can learn for our own leadership journeys. Join PiXL CEO, Rachel Johnson, as she takes us back to 1938, exploring Neville Chamberlain's attempt to avert World War II. Much like Chamberlain's misplaced confidence, leaders of any kind can get "Carried Away" in various contexts. Take this time to reflect on your experiences—have you ever been swept up by naivety, optimism, or lack of experience? Tune in for insights from history, prompting critical reflection on leadership pitfalls. Join the conversation on avoiding the consequences of getting "Carried Away" on this episode of the PiXL Pearls. We are all naive in some areas, how can we be less naive about what we are walking into? With each episode we will be releasing a supporting resource. The aim of the resource is to ensure that you have a 25-minute window to give yourself time to think.  Click here to access these resources.
