10 Ways to Develop Churchillian Resolve
The story of LEGO has always resonated with me, particularly its incredible comeback during challenging times. In the early 2000s, LEGO faced a financial crisis, with declining sales and near bankruptcy. However, the leadership of Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, then CEO, spearheaded a turnaround that leveraged creativity and innovation. LEGO focused on its core mission: fostering creativity in children and families. It invested in its classic products, expanded into digital gaming, and established partnerships with movie franchises like Star Wars . This is a perfect example of identifying and capitalizing on white-space opportunities. Through strong leadership, accountability, and innovation, LEGO became one of the most profitable and beloved brands globally. I’m inspired by leaders like Knudstorp, who embrace challenges with calmness, take responsibility, and use crises as an opportunity for transformation. Resilience is truly the signature of greatness.
