Chapter 22: Fail Big

If you’re going to fail, do it big! Too many leaders want to find someone to blame or share the responsibility of failing. And I admit the temptation to deflect accountability can be strong. But change agents accept the fact that failure is inevitable sometimes, especially when you think big. (The best home run hitters in baseball know that swinging for the fences means you will also strike out, usually a lot.) It’s how you act and what you do next that matters: you must take responsibility and hold yourself accountable at all points.
