'FIRING BACK': FAILURE (AND RETURN) IN POINT-FORM



(A Paraphrase of Sonnenfeld and Ward, HBR)




KEY TAKE-AWAY

FAILURE: DIG IT!!!!





* From Fired to Firing-On-All-Cylinders..

*Cf Dimon at Citigroup. Cf Dimon Now..

Joseph Campbell and the 'Hero Myth': Decide how to fight back.



Failure is a beginning not an end.

Cf 'In the end is my beginning' - T S Elliot, cited in Fog of War by Robert McNamara.

('If you don't know how many mistakes I've made, I'm not going to tell you'!)



'Uncommon honesty, respect and trust'

When in Rome, do as the Romans (would like to) Do..

Honestas, Fortitudinem, dignitas, caritas

Brahms' motto: ASPER PER ASTRA



Translate 'Frei Aber Froh' into 'Capacity for Affiliation'

And REJUVENATION, TRANSFORMATION, SUPEREROGATION...



Recruit others

And - Watch OTHERS Win...



All that Energy saved for a comeback.

Clausewitz' organisational LEVEE EN MASSE...



The Overcoming...
