CLARITY KICKSTART: June 9, 2014
“We’ve learned that the secret to success may in fact be failure.”
~ Katty Kay & Claire Shipman
Coaching Tip for the Week:
Do you embrace failure – or avoid it at all costs?
The tech world has a phrase that’s part “buzz word” and part brilliant business strategy: Fail fast.
They believe it’s better to put together a prototype that might be (gasp) less than perfect, roll it out quickly, see what works and what doesn’t, then course-correct.
Do you share this belief?
If you always stick to what you know – doing things the way they’ve always been done – you may avoid failure. But are you really succeeding?
This week, fail fast. Take a bold action that’s not 100% pre-planned, roll out a program that’s not perfect, give something a try. Consider the turtle: he can only make progress when he sticks his neck out!
How will you fail fast this week?
