Passive regression could kill your business

Passive Regression Could Kill Your Business

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. A mistake can be a source of new information. It is far worse to stand still from fear of change than to make a mistake.
There are passive mistakes and active mistakes. A passive mistake is one resulting from omission. It is a mistake caused by not taking action when you should. For example, if we had not started an Internet shopping mall in 1997, it would have been a passive mistake. By contrast, I’d like to call a mistake resulting from a change, an active mistake.
Passive and active mistakes are worlds apart. People engaged in business should welcome active mistakes. Of course making no mistakes at all would be even more ideal, but at least you can learn from active mistakes. If you can apply what you have learned to business, it should never be called a mistake. It is a lesson! We learn from lessons.
Passive mistakes have none of these positive aspects. More dangerously, the person is not even aware a mistake has been made. Superficially, the person has done nothing wrong and we see no mistake. In fact a passive mistake may have become part of the company culture. There is a certain “don’t rock the boat” mentality that encourages repeating passive mistakes for fear of making an active one. Passive mistakes are rampant within bureaucracies.
Passive mistakes are a true threat. To avoid passive mistakes, both individuals and organizations must maintain the spirit of embracing change, regardless of active mistakes.
