Succeeding from failure...

Brilliant article.  This is a fantastic idea that takes a "societal negative" and views it in a positive way that will benefit, not only ourselves, but our organization.  I thought it was interesting that he stated that a person who has  a "tendency to dodge direct questions with a Miss America-style answer may indeed be a great asset to someone else's company, but it's not a great fit for success at mine."  This is a completely unorthodox way of thinking; most executives seek that perfect employee who doesn't fail and produces the desired results.  Understanding this concept and creating an atmosphere where our employees can admit failure and teach others' the lessons they learned will create a culture within our organization that will facilitate a great deal of efficiency and progression.
