Encouraging failure as a part of growth at workplace

We have this # culture where #success is admired and appreciated and on the opposite #failure is criticized and makes the person feel ashamed about it. Often, it’s not just the act of failing that people are afraid of, it is actually the consequences. But we need to understand that if there is success, failures will obviously be there.
