Fail Safe Innovation?


Potthast
If innovation is creativity,
and creativity is simply play,
and to play, is to feel safe,
and to feel safe is to be OK to fail

How ok are your kids with trying and failing?
And your team?

to test, nudge or even bust the envelope?

Or are they so afraid of heights
to never even have looked over  the edge?

And you?
