Help Your Team Fail Small and Win Big

"Rise Above The Numbers" by FP&HEY

Who here likes to fail?

No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke.

Failing leads to serious learning.

It can also lead to serious reputation hits.

And not just for you, but your team too.

Fail responsibly, by failing small and setting you and your team up for controlled failure.

Show Notes

* 00:26 – doing bicep curls while recording a podcast is one way to stay in shape

* 01:01 – controlled failure = allowing your team to take risks and fail while minimizing the consequences

* 02:20 – new hires will fail a lot—help them do that while helping them grow a positive reputation

* 03:45 – create a space that feels like the big game—there’s no experience like game day experience

* 04:50 – don’t expect people to hit the ground running—make it your mission to improve their chances of success

* 05:45 – bridge new analysis with old analysis to help you and your boss understand what changed and why it changed to get buy-in

* 07:50 – confidence compounds over time—make it your mission to instill confidence in your team early and often

* 09:15 – great football players (even Tom Brady) need teams to succeed—you as an FP&A leader are no different

* 09:55 – invest in leveling up your team and retaining top talent

* 10:30 – great ideas are out there to do things better—pay attention and ferociously learn about them

* 11:15 – challenge yourself to learn one new thing each day—that learning will compound over time

* 11:55 – wrapping things up—practice controlled failure to build skills, build confidence, build high-performing teams that consistently improve
