Is failure a setback or clarifying moment?

Success, they always say is a journey.  It is not a destination.  You need failures to teach you to be a success.  Your failures are your teachers

Leaders must change with the times, says Douglas Conant
The business world has transformed itself and bosses must adapt, says former Campbell Soup CEO Douglas Conant. The data available to leaders and the demographics of the modern workforce require bosses to be both tough-minded and kind-hearted, Conant explains. "You have to be a well-rounded leader. You can't fly by the seat of your pants anymore," he says. Bloomberg Businessweek/The Management Blog (7/25)

3 unspoken challenges of running a startup
As an entrepreneur, setting priorities can be difficult with all of the tasks on your plate, writes Emily Motayed, co-founder of Havenly. Also, the uncertainties involved with running a new company can be stressful, and no matter how strongly you believe in your idea, other people won't necessarily understand why it's important to you.

Why "makers" stay ahead of "takers"
Your success might depend on whether you're a "maker" or a "taker," Geoffrey James writes. Makers "know they'll succeed and don't care whether others believe in them or not," while takers "draw upon others for their motivation and constantly worry what others will think," he writes. Also, makers focus on their own behavior instead of what others are doing, they show gratitude and they take responsibility for fixing problems.

Ideas for Innovators

Innovation lessons from Google's Jonathan Rosenberg
You can't force creative thinking to occur no matter how much you would like to do so, says Jonathan Rosenberg, whose philosophy was a driving force behind the development of Google's popular Android and Chrome products. It's important to come up with a lot of ideas and fight the organizational impediments to innovation, he says. Fast Company online (7/26)

Fortune from Failure

Is failure a setback or clarifying moment?
Self-made millionaires tend to have a different outlook on failure than middle-class individuals do, according to Lewis Schiff, author of "Business Brilliant." High-net-worth individuals were much more likely to say that failure had allowed them to better understand their strengths, according to a 2009 survey. "Failure is a learning tool, not a source of shame," Schiff said. NJBIZ (New Jersey) (7/25)
