Adapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failure.
This may be
true, but we certainly don't act like it. When our mistakes stare us in the face,
we often find it so upsetting that we miss out on the primary benefit of
failing: the chance to get over our egos and come back with a stronger, smarter
approach.
When it comes to
failing, our egos are our own worst enemies. As soon as things start going
wrong, our defense mechanisms kick in, tempting us to do what we can to save
face. Yet, these very normal reactions -- denial, chasing your losses, and hedonistic editing -- wreak havoc on our ability to adapt."It seems to be the
hardest thing in the world to admit we've made a mistake and try to put it
right. It requires you to challenge a status quo of your own making."We're
so anxious not to "draw a line under a decision we regret" that we
end up causing still more damage while trying to erase it.
