Interesting post! I agree with you that taking an optimum amount of risk (and learning from the failures that come with it) is a strategy that can significantly enhance effectiveness at individual, group and organization levels.Please see the link below for my perspective on this (with focus on ‘Leadership and failure’).

When a little baby begins to walk, and by doing so stumbles and falls many times, we encourage them and smile and enjoy the process within which they are highly concentrating and struggling. We view it as normal and expected. Yet in the workplace, too often we illogically expect perfection from the cradle, and if there is any mistakes or falling down, then we consider removing legs, if not terminating the entire person. Dust is a normal byproduct of construction and there is a considerable amount of dust when building a life or an organization. As you indicate here, we would all be better served when we learn to expect the dust and to enjoy learning our way through it. Thank you for the thoughts and guidance.
