My profession is referred to as “practicing law”, which underlines that there is always room for improvement (makes the concept of “practicing medicine” a little scary!). Unless an organization can foster a culture of risk-taking (in law, this means not being afraid to ask questions and try new approaches to problems), the organization will eventually become stagnant and die. However, risk taking means that mistakes will be made. I tell younger lawyers that you don’t learn much from getting it right: you learn from getting it wrong and figuring out why and where you went wrong.

Anil,

Thank you for a thoughtful post. I am particularly taken with your reminder to focus on people rather the process. In the world of depersonalized, “it’s all about business,” and getting things done this simple but counter-intuitive wisdom often gets overlooked.

Inspired by recent events with BP and other corporate calamities I put together this two minute video conversation starter…

Is it possible to adopt a new paradigm? Who’s to blame? Things go wrong and someone’s got to take the hit right?

How would innovation change in an organization if we became more responsible for each other? What would that organization look like? How would you feel? And how would you perform?

Here’s a link too the video:
