Failing forward

John Maxwell earlier and John's written all the great books about leadership.

But to me, the greatest book John ever wrote was a little book called Failing Forward.

I read that.

It's fantastic.

You know, my boss isn't going to chew me out just because I made a mistake.

Think of our good friend, John Maxwell, who was just here in Ohio last week, you know, in his book, Failing Forward, talks about learning from the mistakes.

Well, and so if you've created an environment where people are afraid to mention something's gone wrong, that's a leadership failure.

So you've instead got to create the environment where people know they're going to learn from their mistakes.

So just imagine, you could fail your way to success.

I believe it was, uh, John Maxwell wrote a book called Failing Forward.

That's why I never cared about failure because if I fall forward, for those of you been around me know I'm about, what, five ten, right? If I fall forward, I'm five feet, ten inches closer to my goals and my dreams.

So if I'm talking to five a day, and I do it the first day and I'm bad at doing it, my next day I can get a little bit better.

So I love that book.

And then another book, which is also something people in present will know I like, is a book called Failing Forward by John Maxwell.

So to achieve good things and to be innovative, you have to fail.

There's no real point in sailing through life and everything is cushy.
