Another Great Lesson From Pritchett

In another chapter in his booklet Business As Unusual Pritchett speaks of the need to encourage risk-taking and initiative. He says, "Get the message across to everyone that you will be tolerant of mistakes, but intolerant of inertia." In other words, we want our Esperanza people to be independent-thinking, decisive, and action-oriented. This is especially important because we are building "a ship" that has never been built before so there is a strong need for everyone to be willing to enter unchartered waters...and thus make many mistakes.
