Mike Bloomberg, the CEO mayor of NYC who got us out of $4 billion in debt after 9-11 really understands risk and failure, in a way that most at his level simply don't.
"In business, you reward people for taking risks," he said in Business Week recently. "When it doesn't work out, you promote them because they were willing to try new things." Yes, promote, not make the fall-guy. He adds, "If people tell me they skied all day and never fell down, I tell them to try a different mountain."
I've been realizing lately, as much as I hate it, it is in my discomfort zone that I learn, am challenged, and quite frankly, feel most alive.
