Most Things Don't Work Like They Are

Very Few Of The Great Leaders Ever Get Through Their Careers Without Failing, Sometimes Dramatically.

People Are Conditioned To Believe That Error Is Inevitable.... However, We Do Not Accept The Same Standard When It Comes To Our Personal Life. If We Did, We Would Resign Ourselves To Being Shortchanged Now And Then When We Cash Our Paychecks. We Would Expect Hospital Nurses To Drop A Certain Percentage Of All Newborn Babies. We Would Expect To Go Home To The Wrong House Periodically. As Individuals We Do Not Tolerate These Things. Thus We Have A Double Standard, One For Ourselves, One For The Company.

Making A Wrong Decision Is Understandable. Refusing To Search Continually For Learning Is Not.

You Are Going To Be Measured Anyway By Some Means, Fair Or Foul. Usually The One Doing The Measuring Has Nothing Specific In Mind; So He Does It By The Seat Of His Pants. Careers Are Destroyed In This Manner.

You Don't Have To Be Noisy To Be Effective.
