Learning from Mistakes and Successes

Most of us are conditioned to avoid mistakes and failing at all costs, with failure presented as the polar opposite of success. In reality, making mistakes, getting things wrong as well as right, and more importantly learning from these experiences help pave the way to future success. When individuals, teams and organisations fear failure, they can be overly risk averse, give up at the first hurdle, and miss opportunities to improve in favour of sticking with the status quo. When they apply a growth mindset to failure, they seek to test and learn, experiment, and are able to maximise learning from both successes and failures. All of these aspects contribute to a high-performance culture that supports both incremental improvement as well as innovation.
