If something does not turn out as you expected it would - then ask yourself these questions
  1. Was the idea/project designed right ?
  2. Did we need more consultation with the teams ?
  3. Did we need to understand more - some more background work ?
  4. Was the work true to what it set out to achieve ?
  5. Did we set the goals honestly - think about costs, benefits, timing were we realistic ?

Someone once said to me don't get consumed by failure and don't get overwhelmed by success and then you will be ok.....companies often don't keep this in mind but if you do then you will succeed, but most importantly so will your team. Anyone any thoughts...

brilliant, really useful, sometimes you don't want to read a whole book as often you don't have the time, snippets are so much more useful and easier when you need a quick reference. Look forward to seeing more soon.

I think too often companies / individuals are too afraid to even suggest the possibility of failure and so desperate to over achieve / succeed that this sets up non achievement / failure.

As already mentioned, great to have a few pearls of wisdom without always having to read a whole book.......
