I was sitting in a planning session with several SoHills' leaders recently and the question was asked, "Are we prepared for this effort to fail?" That question got me pondering my perspective on failure.
Failure can be viewed as a to-be-expected possibility in any endeavor, as well an avoid-at-all-costs killer of initiatives.
I'm thinking we'd agree that there are different types of failure— some that are necessary for success, and others that can and should be avoided.
It's been suggested that there are three different types of failure:
+ Failure to try
+ Failure to execute
+ Failure to succeed
What has been your experience with failure?
How has failure changed your life... or has it?
