“Fail often so you can succeed sooner.”
Tom Kelley, Ideo Partner
One particular organization has produced more business owners than any other single institution in our nation’s history. If it is not obvious to you who this organization is, here are a couple more clues to help you figure it out:
- Leadership is a strong suit with this organization…not just talking about it, but teaching and practicing it. This institution also values strategic thinking and planning, promotes innovation and creative problem-solving, and clearly understands that mission execution is the characteristic that separates those who achieve from those who merely dream.
- Although these elements are certainly attributes emphasized in leading business schools, in this particular organization they are imparted less by lecture and more by example.
The most effective way to do it,
“Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.”
“Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life!”
