Tim Harford (2012) | Make More Mistakes

In a complex and fast-moving world, if we want to move ahead we
need to rethink the conditions for making progress in science,
business and society in a fundamental way. We need to realise
there is no 'right way', lose our fear of failure, embrace
opportunity and take risks. We need to stop looking for leaders
who can provide us with all the answers, and encourage the search
for many solutions. We need to understand that to adapt to the
challenges of the future, we must make mistakes, lots of them.

Harford joined Festival of Dangerous Ideas to bring us wisdom
from his latest best-seller 'Adapt: Why Success Always Starts
With Failure.'
