You're Not Failing | Simon Sinek

In an attempt to drive innovation, a lot of leaders get frustrated trying to get their teams to embrace the concept of “fail fast.” The problem isn’t the idea, it’s the language. Most of us are naturally afraid of “failing,” and no number of presentations about how to innovate is going to change that. But “falling,” that’s something we know we can pick ourselves up from.

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

Perfect! This is exactly how I teach my history class. I tell my students every year that I want them to fail (not the class, but in their attempts to master the material). I have found that we learn much more from failure than from success, yet because of the way public high schools are structured and managed, students are only accustomed to success. Simon is essentially saying the same thing, but with different verbiage. This video has provided me with a different perspective on how to approach this idea, and perhaps when I show it to my students next fall, they'll better understand that I'm teaching more than just curriculum, I'm trying to teach them to learn.
