Failing Forward

The Harvard Business journal online has recently posted an interesting article about how failing can actually significantly lead to further success. Specifically, if you are making the same mistake, it means you aren't learning things, but if you are making mistakes, it means that you are trying and doing new things.

Interestingly enough, they definitely recommend the debrief technique to help failing push you forward. By taking the time to approach the problem from a non emotional standpoint and to review, it provides adequate time to recognize where change needs to happen and what can be done better.
