"We all make mistakes. If you can't make mistakes, you can't make decisions. I've made a lot bigger mistakes myself." - Warren Buffett
These were the words he spoke to an executive who'd just lost the company $360 million! Two lessons leap off the page from one of the great businessmen of a generation. First, that employees must be encouraged to take action without fear (within limits, of course). Secondly, like Abraham Lincoln, the depth of forgiveness that great leaders hold in Biblical proportion, arising from their modest view of self.
