Avoiding Failure and Real Power (by Kirk Weisler)

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”  ~ Dennis Waitle

In organizations, real power and energy is generated through relationships. The patterns of relationships and the capacities to form them are more important than tasks, functions, roles, and positions. – Margaret Wheatly Leadership and the New Science

I read this quote and had to ask myself – did it really take “New Science” to determine that relationships are the key?  ~ KirK Out
