Do you have any process, ritual, etc.. that you use at work to embrace and celebrate failures?
E.g. I've recently learned that for a period at AirBnB there was an award for the biggest failed project and feature.
How have these practices impacted your work?
Do you feel that failures at work are accepted by the leadership and are used to create value (personal growth and business level)?
Curious to hear your opinions and experiences.
Or maybe, you haven't ever worked in a real job?
This is trolling, right? Or maybe, you haven't ever worked in a real job?
Usually passing the buck, playing the blame game, and most of all never changing anything and then being surprised, shocked, I mean, really shocked, that it keeps happening.
I'm trying to imagine a world where failure is seen as a good thing - it implies risks were taken, and without risk there is unlikely to be progress. I suppose AirBnB is a bit of a poster child for move fast and get sued later so that sort of fits.

I'm sorry to hear that, it seems to me that failure has never been an option where you worked. How was it possible in your org to innovate if they don't embrace failures?
The most popular ritual I've seen for celebrating failure is firing people. I can see a case for the company declaring bankruptcy being considered a ritual.
