Getting up again is tough—believe me, I know. Whether it’s from the ache of a broken relationship, the blow of job loss, or the quiet weight of emotional disappointment, starting again takes more than just motivation. It takes faith. It takes courage. And for leaders, it takes a willingness to rise not just for yourself—but for those watching you, depending on you, following you.
Leadership doesn’t mean you’re immune to falling. It means you’re responsible for how you get back up. When a leader falls, the recovery isn’t just private—it echoes. Your resilience teaches others how to stand after being knocked down. Your honesty in pain teaches them that transparency is not weakness. Your decision to keep going—when it would be easier to disappear—teaches them that leadership is less about spotlight and more about sacrifice.
Tony Dungy reminds us, “The secret to success is good leadership, and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members or workers better.” That includes leading them through what it looks like to suffer with grace and rebuild with intention.
If you’ve fallen, take a breath. Wipe the dust from your faith. And remember: rising again doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be real.
