Why persistence is for fools and creative persistence is for leaders
Persistence can be a double-edged sword. Blindly sticking to a failing plan—ignoring evidence or feedback—is foolish. It’s like banging your head against a wall, expecting it to move. Creative persistence, however, is what sets leaders apart. It’s the ability to stay committed to a goal but adapt, pivot, and innovate when obstacles arise. Leaders don’t just endure; they rethink the approach, find new angles, and turn setbacks into opportunities. For example, Thomas Edison didn’t just keep trying the same lightbulb design—he iterated thousands of times, learning from each failure. Foolish persistence repeats the same mistake; creative persistence evolves toward success.
