Moving into an Unknown Territory

Innovators, intrapreneurs  and change leaders must have freedom to experiment and, naturally, freedom to fail because experimentation is about moving into an unknown territory. Freedom to fail forward means a freedom to explore, venture, experiment and succeed in uncharted territory.

 

 

Creating anything new is a trial and error process by its very nature.

The key to success is to treat both noble failures and unexpected successes as highly valuable feedback, ask learning SWOT questions and act on the answers to them.

Vadim Kotelnikov quotes Innovators vs Managers Innovators succeed by breaking rules managers follow rules

In radical innovation, every step forward is a step into terra incognita where opportunities are guides and failures are teachers.


Risk is a just an easy choice between fear of falling down and a chance to take off.

Noble Failure as a Primary Vehicle for Success

Noble failure provides a great learning opportunity and should be viewed as a very lifeblood of success. In innovation and change efforts, it is only by trying lots of initiatives that you can improve your chances that one of them will be a real breakthrough.

Intelligent failure provides a great learning opportunity and leads to success. It is through seeming failures and turning failures to opportunities that most of greatest successes are achieved. It is by trying lots of disruptive initiatives that you can improve your chances that one of them will be a star... More

 

 

 

To Let or Not To Let?

All you do by not letting your people fail is postpone the growth of your business. Why? Because the more you fail, the more you succeed. You learn from taking action, from your mistakes, from feedback, from getting going.

Making mistakes is essential to innovation and organizational growth, as long as systems are developed to avoid making the same mistake twice.

"Real motivation comes from within. People have to be given the freedom to succeed or fail." ~ Gordon Forward

Learn from Feedback and Advance

According to NLP, there is no failure, only feedback.

Actually, it is only through seeming failures that most of greatest successes in life and business are achieved. Like beauty, "failure" or "success" is in the eye of the beholder. If you fall short of reaching a goal, ask Learning SWOT Questions and see how you can emerge stronger from this experience. How can you prevent such failures in future? Can you turn this "failure" to an opportunity? How could this "failure" and the lessons learned from it be turned to a longer term success?
