A major challenge for any organisation and for individuals is having the confidence to take risks. Thats how organisations innovate (if they don’t they’ll not survive) and its how people learn and grow We can see this everyday —- its our duty as managers, teachers, parents, friends, to help people take risks and learn from the experience. If we’re too worried to try new things or making a mistake we’ll not change or grow. We’ll be stuck physically, mentally — socially and economically.

It’s about stepping out of one’s ‘comfort zone.’

Same for our organisations, which might become less competitive and left behind, if they or their employees are too scared to step up

I saw yet another example of it today at Flipkart.

As a company they were in prime position when they first launched. I wonder what they feel now. Have they progressed as fast as they expected?

If not then what can they learn from it?
How about empowering their employees to innovate?
