Most entrepreneurs think they understand what makes teams successful, but my experience coaching over 25 years tells me we're approaching this all wrong. Lars Lofty has built 27 companies and learned something crucial from the 11 that failed, attitude trumps skills every single time, by at least 2:1 according to Harvard research. We dive deep into the systems and frameworks that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who struggle, and honestly, Lars's insights about embracing adversity as your ally might change how you think about leadership forever.
