She is the author of many <a href="https://amzn.to/3fOJOy4">books</a> including<em> </em><a href="https://amzn.to/2VmEusd"><em>The Outstanding Organization</em></a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/39uRPaj"><em>Clarity First</em></a>.</p> <p>Today, we talk about Karen's "favorite mistake" of leaving a corporate job to go solo. Why was it a mistake to want the VP title so badly? Why did it seem like a mistake (to her or to others) for her to leave? We also have a great conversation about how to create a culture in a company where it's safe to talk about (and learn from) mistakes.</p> <p>I also love this quote and you'll have to listen (or read the transcript) to get the context:</p> <p><strong>"So I think of certainty as being a form of arrogance because we can't actually ever be certain."</strong></p> <p><br></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support</a>
