The Truth About Mistakes | Frictionless:

You’re going to fall down. Learning how to get back up is the true secret to success.

To Have Real Influence, Focus on a Great Outcome – Mark Goulston – Harvard Business Review:

When people paint a picture of a great outcome, they’re not trying "to persuade people to do something important." They’re trying to "positively influence them" to get them to a better place.

Great Innovators Think Laterally – Ian Gonsher and Deb Mills-Scofield – Harvard Business Review:

Often, when searching for a new way to understand a familiar idea, we look for its opposite. By doing this, we create a spectrum of possibilities between what it is and what it is not. This strategy is somewhat similar to what is often referred to as the Hegelian Dialectic, although Hegel himself probably never used this term, or its familiar formula: Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis: Thesis is a proposition about a prevalent paradigm; e.g. a horse and carriage; Antithesis is a counter proposition that opposes or negates the Thesis; e.g. the first generation of automobiles called "horseless carriages"; Synthesis emerges from the tension between the Thesis and the Antithesis, blending the opposing ideas without fully negating either of them completely; e.g. our modern understanding of the car.
