When I was a young product manager, one of the experienced managers had a little plaque on his desk. It said some like this, "Always use good judgment. How do you get good judgment? Experience. How do you get experience? Bad Judgment." If a mistake is not dangerous, we may actually learn faster making the mistake. I've read that Thomas Edison said he did not fail 10,000 times as he searched for an incandescent filament, he discovered thousands of materials that were not suitable. It seems to me the experience and attitude we take away from our mistakes will lead to better decisions. Ken,
You’ve convinced me I need to read this book. When I was a young product manager, one of the experienced managers had a little plaque on his desk. It said some like this, “Always use good judgment. How do you get good judgment? Experience. How do you get experience? Bad Judgment.”

If a mistake is not dangerous, we may actually learn faster making the mistake. I’ve read that Thomas Edison said he did not fail 10,000 times as he searched for an incandescent filament, he discovered thousands of materials that were not suitable.

It seems to me the experience and attitude we take away from our mistakes will lead to better decisions.
