Quote: Andrew S. Tannenbaum
The better, more subtle interpretation is that failure is a manifestation of learning and exploration. If you arenât experiencing failure, then you are making a far worse mistake: You are being driven by the desire to avoid it. And, for leaders especially, this strategyâtrying to avoid failure by out-thinking itâdooms you to fail. As Andrew puts it, âMoving things forward allows the team you are leading to feel like, âOh, Iâm on a boat that is actually going towards land.â As opposed to having a leader who says, âIâm still not sure. Iâm going to look at the map a little bit more, and weâre just going to float here, and all of you stop rowing until I figure this out.â And then weeks go by, and morale plummets, and failure becomes self-fulfilling. People begin to treat the captain with doubt and trepidation. Even if their doubts arenât fully justified, youâve become what they see you as because of your inability to move.â

Left to their own devices, most people donât want to fail. But Andrew Stanton isnât most people. As Iâve mentioned, heâs known around Pixar for repeating the phrases âfail early and fail fastâ and âbe wrong as fast as you can.â He thinks of failure like learning to ride a bike; it isnât conceivable that you would learn to do this without making mistakesâwithout toppling over a few times. âGet a bike thatâs as low to the ground as you can find, put on elbow and knee pads so youâre not afraid of falling, and go,â he says. If you apply this mindset to everything new you attempt, you can begin to subvert the negative connotation associated with making mistakes. Says Andrew: âYou wouldnât say to somebody who is first learning to play the guitar, âYou better think really hard about where you put your fingers on the guitar neck before you strum, because you only get to strum once, and thatâs it. And if you get that wrong, weâre going to move on.â Thatâs no way to learn, is it?â

When you put these two companies together, everybody keeps talking about size. The size that the two of us will be. Sure, and when you look at that investor deck, thatâs also true. But the more important is to me, and I donât think this is hyperbole; this is going to be the most high class, quality P&C company in the world. Yes, we are going to be one of the top global players in the world. We are. But the quality, we will out-class everyone, if we do this right.- Evan Greenberg - ACE Employee Call Transcript 07.02.15
