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.

Differentiate Between a NOBLE Failure and a STUPID Failure

Charles Schwab pioneered seamless stock trading on Internet in 1996 and grew from a small firm to the World's leader.

David Pottruck, a  legendary leader of Charles Schwab, says: "The idea that failure is okay is ridiculous. I am not going to go around the company and reward someone for failing. But here at Schwab we differentiate between noble failure and stupid failure."

 

 

 

Criteria for Defining a NOBLE Failure

Charles Schwab has a set of criteria for defining noble failure. Noble failure occurs when:

you have a good plan and know what you're doing, you've thought everything through carefully, and have implemented with sufficient management discipline, that if you look back in review, you'd conclude it was thoughtfully done

you have a reasonable contingency plan to deal with any initial failure and the contingency plan must have been implemented

you need to debrief yourself and ask what you can learn from the experience that will lead your company to be smarter next time.

Charles Schwab journals their failures and lessons they've learned. They maintain also a display of failed innovations and created a videotape for employee orientation. When celebration of noble failure becomes institutionalized, people within the organization are more willing to treat failures as a stepping stone to success, reassess earlier decisions and take corrective measures or even turn failures to opportunities.

 

 

 

Freedom To Fail Forward

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... More
