How to Motivate Failure

  1. Trish fails at Task A.
  2. Manager Bill yells.
  3. Manager Bill assigns Trish menial work.

What results?

Manager Bill destroys Trish's potential to rock.

  • Productivity drains.
  • Profits plummet.
  • People cry.

How do you optimize Trish after failure?

Simply, do this:

  • Give Trish another chance to prove herself.

If you punish failure, people become more focused on failure -- instead of rocking the actual work.

They're thinking:

  1. "Dude! What if I fail again?"
  2. "I cannot fail! I will not fail!"
  3. "I can't make one more mistake!"

Result: they fail.

The Focus Beyond

Instead, when people know failure ain't-no-thing-but-a-chicken-wing-on-a-string, they start focusing on the kick-assing part.

  • Full focus: away from failure.
  • Full focus: on success.

Win for you, her, and the world.

You ain't no failure! Hooray!
