Your Experience of Achieving Success From Failure?

I think most of these stories would be of situations better left buried....any such circumstances are likely to be contentious issues with only one side presented...therefore not a fair and balanced approach...

No need to name names! How was the problem addressed and resolved?

You sound like a lawyer in search of a whistle blower....

Invitation declined.

When the world trade center building's were hit, I was certain that both buildings burning out of control with aviation fuel would both soon warp and collapse straight down to the ground.

I was right. Soooo. Successful hypothesis from observations of failure.

No one wants to admit to failure. But we have all failed sometime.... So here we go... 30 years ago I was working as a electrician and I was too slow - taking 5 minutes to make up a socket ("outlet" as well call them in the states) that other people can do in 2 or 3 minutes. And I was fired. Having a family to support, failure was not an option. I got more jobs, and slowly rose through the ranks to lead, to foreman, electrical supervisor, electrical manager. How? working smarter not faster. Doing the harder jobs and working those smarter also. And also working on my people skills, cooperation, network building, friendships, team building, compromise, not believing I'm always right or my way is the only way.....And learning new skills all the time, such as airfield lighting, hazardous locations, fire alarms, fire sprinklers, whatever it takes.
