Is Perfect Important?

I straight stole this from Seth’s Blog – check the original post here.

He asks tons of question – 16 to be exact and number 13 was the one that caught my attention:

Is perfect important? (Do you feel the need to fail privately, not in public?)

He was connecting perfect with failure, and more importantly, he didn’t give an option for not failing – just asked though if you need to fail privately or publicly.

Failure is not a bad thing.  It’s a great question.  The insight into public or private failure is key.  I think sometimes in leadership – you can’t choose – so fail well.

Seth’s Post on Higher Education

I read Seth Godin’s blog.  If I had to chose one, I think that it’d be his.  I enjoy it.  He has some pretty interesting ideas.  Typically, he writes about marketing and leadership, and the one time that he writes about Higher Education – the industry I am in – he tells it exactly like it is.  You should read his 5 reasons.  He might be right.

There’s no way that I can summarize it, you’re just going to have to check it out for yourself.  He addresses the “disintegration of education” – I love that line.  It’s so true though.  We need to work hard at developing leaders and problem solvers.  Check out the post.

My last post was about judging a book by it’s cover.

I was reading through my rss reader and came across a post by Seth Godin – kinda about this idea.  Let’s face it, we get all of our ideas from Seth any way – but Seth doesn’t care.  Thanks Seth.
