Be Flexible:

It is important to be flexible and be able to take challenges head-on so that you become stronger even when failure hits you. You should be flexible enough to adopt to different leadership styles, even after your professional disasters. By being flexible, you may learn from your mistakes.

Improvisation:

You have to change your outlook on life. Take everything as it comes and not take things for granted. Always try to have a positive outlook on everything that you encounter in life as somethings can turn out to be much better. By taking things positively, it would start to make you look smarter, as you would then analyze each and everything from every perspective, rather than just admitting your failures and thinking about it again and again and being depressed about it. At least you would know better than others. This is called improvisation on the quality of life.

Start Reading More and More Things:

Great leaders always take out time to read about things. They develop their characteristics and how they can influence other people. This is how some great leaders have recovered after their professional catastrophes. This is also because these leaders find out about their favorite subject to read about and what interests them and then become experts in it. So, when you find something really interesting, read about it more and more to enrich your knowledge about it and maybe someday you would turn it into something really worthwhile.

Be Assertive:

Always believe in yourself. Be assertive in your ways, your behavior and in your personality attributes. It is very essential that you exhibit assertiveness during your job interviews. According to Suzanne Lucas, this is how one should handle a job interview after being fired, be assertive in your ways and believe in yourself that you are destined to aim high and better things are about to come for you.

Failure is never the End for You:

Always believe that failure is not the end for you. Being fired or have a bad career move is not final. The long road to negotiation is never over. There will always be good and great things waiting for you, just give it some time.

Seek Solutions:

Your attitude can determine your actions towards your success in life. You have to look for better options and solutions. You can set your mind to actively seek solutions to the problems you have in life. Consult others, find intellectual mentors to guide you and be patient in life. If it is necessary, then change the direction of your life. You may face hardships at first but in the end, all things would turn out to be better than before.

Try and Try Again:

If anything doesn’t work out for you, try again. Never accept your failure as a final result. Implement the best of solutions which you may find and take a leap of faith. Even if you do not have enough time, resources or even any help, try even more. You must not blame others for your situation, instead of that, think of the time you have and what you can make from it.

People, who cannot recover from their failures in life or bad career disasters, have a tendency to blame others. They try to dwell in the past instead of thinking about the future. However, they did not know that they are secretly responsible for their career decline, if they do nothing. Although, it is easy for them to turn things back around, all they require is a little bit of patience, faith and the willingness to succeed in life.
