Openness to Failure as a Critical HR Skill on We’re Only Human

By | Ben Eubanks | Human Resources Professional, Speaker, and Blogger

“I think openness to failure is as important as openness to success, because if you’re not open to failure, you’re not open to trying new things. Full stop. You’re going to keep rolling out the same trite things that maybe aren’t the best things. So it’s really as important to try new things, and where you give yourself the credibility is the fact that you are measuring and you are looking at whether or not this works objectively.”
