Link of the Day #102



Here’s another piece of career wisdom from Tom Peters. It comes from a story about Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, and an important outlook he had on life and business. Watch the story at the link below:

What do you think of Peters’ ideas on the importance of not being afraid to fail? Do you agree/disagree and why? What examples can you point to from your own experiences - in life and in your career? Enjoy - and feel free to forward to your friends and colleagues! And remember, post your comments in response to the article at that link (http://wyld-about-careers.blogspot.com/2011/06/tom-peters-on-strategy-dont-be-afraid.html).

And for those of you who happen to have me for both Management 425 and 464 (either at the same time or in a prior semester), the alternate link of the day is:

Good luck - and take advantage of this extra learning (and extra credit!)...

  1. I personally think that Toms views are enlightening, I think that you can't learn if you never fail. Failure is not always a bad thing in my opinion, I personally think that I try harder after faluire
