43. Since When is Failure Good? - Monday, December 16, 2013

Failure is the new business and innovation buzzword. Magazine articles, consultants and even professors are encouraging everyone to “learn to fail.”

Their intent is to break the hardwiring in our culture that trains us to strive for success and perfection because they believe this limits our appetite for taking risk.

The failure zealots celebrate failure and encourage everyone to not just fail, but fail a lot.
