I treat failure as information: what doesn't work, which assumptions were wrong.

I respond to failure by asking what went wrong, not who's to blame.

I support and develop people through their failures.

I admit my own failures openly, making it safe for others to do the same.

I run the three Rs after setbacks: recognize, respect, return.

I surface my mistakes early rather than hoping they stay hidden.

I extract and apply the lessons from every significant failure.

I know that avoiding all failure means avoiding the risks that produce breakthroughs.

People bring me bad news early because doing so is safe.

My actual response to failure matches my stated philosophy about it.
