Mistakes Made & Lessons Learned
11.15.11 • Jones Lang LaSalle • 7:30-10:00am
James Joyce said "Mistakes are the portal of discovery." And while most of us agree that our mistakes provide the greatest lessons in life and in business, interestingly, it's a topic that rarely gets covered at local business events. On November 9th, Core24, an executive resources company (www.core24inc.com) featured four high-profile business leaders who agreed to spend the morning with us talking candidly about mistakes they've made — the minor missteps, colossal foul ups and those that over time proved fortuitous, leading to tremendous competitive advantage for their companies.
