HDI Tip of the Day
“A leader creates success, often from failure (mistakes). Successful leaders perceive and handle “failure” differently. The word “failure,” to most people, connotes something that’s terminal and lifeless. But leaders embrace error. … Most of the people I interviewed looked forward to mistakes because they felt that someone who hadn’t made a mistake hadn’t been trying hard enough. Television producer Norman Lear told me, “Wherever I trip is where the treasure lies.” Katherine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, said, “For me, a mistake is simply another way of doing things.”” – Managing People is Like Herding Cats, by Warren Bennis
