Failure can drive growth, but in camp and auxiliary settings, staff mistakes can affect program success and reputation. This session explores how to balance support and autonomy—when to step in and when to let staff struggle productively. Using real-life examples, we’ll highlight best practices for “contained failure” that promote learning without compromising outcomes. Participants will also examine strategies to build resilience and confidence by leveraging moments of challenge. Framed through reflective leadership, the session invites attendees to assess their own leadership and coaching styles and consider how to use them to support staff development and maximize performance.
