Here's a quote by Richard Branson, founder, Virgin Group. He writes lots and lots of inspiring quotes. This particular one reads, "Innovation happens when people are given the freedom to ask questions and the resources and power to find answers."
Then he wrote this, "Give people the freedom to fail & try again. Successful companies encourage risk-taking & reward ingenuity."
Failure is not the end of the world, refusing to try again is the real defeat. How do you know what is in store for you if you don't try.
