Your response to failure promotes learning or fortifies stupidity.
Punish responsible failure, if you want everyone to play it safe.
Why fail:
Teach people how to fail responsibly so they can reach their potential.
If you never fail, you’re disrespecting yourself. You’re reaching too low.
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” T. S. Eliot
5 ways to teach people how to fail responsibly:
- Expect, respect, and honor boldness.
- Celebrate learning.
- Provide opportunities to take responsibility for failure.
- Evaluate assumptions.
- What did you expect to happen? Why?
- What actually happened? Why?
- Share your own failures when others fail.
