      MAIN IDEA

      In business, the concepts of success and failure are more ambiguous than most people acknowledge. Not only are there many different ways to define both these terms but frequently, short-term failures lay the foundation for long-term success. That means these failures are an unavoidable part of the pathway to succeeding.

      In a rapidly changing economy, the management practices which everyone automatically assumes to be true can get in the way of doing what’s needed most. For example, if we do business on the basis of the tried-and-true, we will never take enough risks to come up with something innovative that represents an advance in the state-of-the-art. And doing risky things ensures we will fail most of the time. We must have a mind-set which views both success and failure as footsteps along the same path towards achievement.

      The best way to fall behind in a shifting economy is to rely on what worked in the past – formulas that have grown obsolete. Instead, companies need to encourage their innovators to learn more by making productive mistakes. In this environment, managers should worry less about rewarding success and focus more on learning from both failure and success.
