How does your company deal with failure? Is it celebrated as an inevitable part of innovation, or is it seen as something to be avoided at all costs? Usually, fearless leaders provide inspiration for fearless companies. That doesn’t always mean the founder or CEO could be a group leader or the leader of a division. Think about whether you are or your company is fearless. Can you move at lightning speed to address a change in the marketplace? Are you willing to risk being wrong to get to market first with an idea? Becoming more fearless is a learned skill that only comes through failing. The old innovation expression, “fail fast,” is more important than ever these days as our world speeds up.
