The biggest failure is the failure to learn from a failure.

 

 

Prevent  Stupid Failures

A noble failure is about learning from a failure that occurred regardless all efforts to anticipate and avoid it.

A stupid failure is about making the same mistake again.

To prevent stupid failures, develop a habit of taking a systemic view of things. Analyze the entire system that involves people, their perceptions, and a sequence of thoughts, decisions, events, feelings, actions and interactions.

Failure is not an accident – it' the result of interactions in a system.

Look at the different elements in a situation as parts of a system which functions for good or ill. Take different perceptual positions to gain a better understanding of the situation. Empathize with other stakeholders to understand their needs, expectations and desires.

Once you understand how the system is working – for or against you – structure things differently, so you can avoid 'failure' again in the future.
