Great leaders overcome adversity. They all have dealt with tough times whether in the form of job loss, physical trials or financial strain. The key is to press through and find meaning in the midst of the challenge. The great leader digs deep, prays through it and finds support through his inner circle.

St. James speaks of this in the New Testament,

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

What trial are you overcoming at work that will lead to a breakthrough?
