How Failure Breeds Success

How Failure Breeds Success: “Indeed, for a generation of managers weaned on the rigors of Six Sigma error-elimination programs, embracing failure — gasp! — is close to blasphemy.”
Learning is not a process of performance…it’s a process of becoming. When educators mistake these two, they limit much of the experimental nature of learning. New ideas come through accident (see top 10 accidental discoveries), trial and error, and failure. Spaces of high-failure tolerance provide much greater learning opportunities (and, when learning occurs, we can assume innovation and success will follow).
