In May of 2007 I read a book by John C. Maxwell entitled Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success. He is a very popular writer on the topic of leadership, and I have been reviewing Failing Forward.
One of the areas that Maxwell stresses is the necessity to learn from failure. Such is taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, realizing that failure is a part of progress, maintaining a positive attitude, challenging outdated assumptions, taking new risks, believing something didn't work (rather than believing 'I am a failure'), and persevering (8).
It is worth the reading.
