learning from business mistakes: a lesson from the design world
Posting has been sparse around here of late. I’ve spent a wonderful four days holding down the fort while my wife’s enjoyed an out-of-town yoga retreat. In my spare moments, I came across this Fast Company article profiling some of the “favorite mistakes” made by the design team at OXO International, the award-winning makers of household items like these. The piece relates to the practice of law in many ways. We all can get lulled into a place of complacency where we quickly excuse our business mistakes without reflecting on them or seizing the opportunity they offer for positive change and growth. This perspective on mistake as a business aid is nicely captured in these words from OXO’s president, Alex Lee (as quoted in the article): "Our wrong assumptions lead to the best learning."
