Be Proactive - Don’t Be Afraid to Fail--but fail fast!
They say I've never been afraid to fail. I'm willing to take risks, but if I'm going to fail, I'm going to fail fast, and as my colleague Dave Johnson says, fail cheaply.
What I want to do is create momentum and show progress. Using the acronym TNT -today not tomorrow. Another great acronym I learned from another leader whose shoulders I stand upon. Remember, progress isn't always a straight line. How many times did Edison fail before creating the light bulb?
So remember to just keep creating momentum and progress.
