Did you know that Oprah was fired from her first news reporter position? Or that Jerry Seinfeld was booed off stage the first time he tried to get a laugh? Did you know that Michael Jordan didn’t make the varsity basketball team when he tried out his sophomore year?
Many of the most successful people have failed when they first started out. Why then do we fear failure—especially when we know that everyone’s experienced it? We fear failure because we fear judgment. We fear what others will think of us if we screw up. Our society has this all wrong, when we are toddlers learning to walk, we all have fallen down many times, yet we continue to get up. Same with when we learned to ride a bike. Failure is a part of the journey forward and it is important to recognize that failure is an important part too learning.
The key that managers and businesses need to do is cultivate a fear-based culture. You want your people to know that mistakes happen and to see them as learning opportunities for innovation and growth.
In order to create a fearless culture, you can do the following...
