Mistakes

Las empresas de tradición occidental están orientadas hacia lograr altas tasas de rendimiento; pero también muestran áreas de oportunidad en el área humana, siendo la ocultación de los errores por culpa un síntoma y el artículo [1] su cura. Los errores ya no son vistos como un destino final, donde solo encuentra culpa, ocultación y desesperanza, sino como aprendizaje. Por eso el nombre: cultura del error constructivo.

"La victoria tiene cien padres y la derrota es huérfana." Kennedy.

Que algo sea así no significa que no pueda cambiar (falacia naturalista), pero la naturaleza humana suele ser la siguiente: el éxito, los aciertos y lo bueno es motivo de unión (¿quién recibe el crédito y por tanto los beneficios?); por el contrario, el fallo, los errores y lo malo es motivo de desunión (¿quién es responsable y va recibir las represalias?).

Los errores pueden ser clasificados de distintas maneras; para efectos de este brevísimo ensayo: investigación, operación o admnistración y legales-morales. 

Para el primero es claro que el artículo aplica: ¿quieres generar innovación? Entonces debes cometer errores de caminos sin salida o de juicio, ese es el proceso natural del aprendizaje. 

En el caso de operaciones o admnistración, el artículo está asumiendo cierto nivel de competencia esperada (errores por incompetencia duradera no son su objeto) tras el proceso de selección (si es que lo hubo). Además, la mayoría estamos de acuerdo en que existen buenas maneras de comunicarnos donder culpar no es una de ellas y en cambio sí, dar una sana retroalimentación (¿Qué hiciste bien? ¿Qué hiciste mal? ¿Cómo puedes mejorar? ¿Cómo podemos salir de está?). Existe una situación en el borde que es cuando la retroalimentación te cuesta dinero o posibles demandas, por eso muchas empresas no la dan en el despido o en el proceso de reclutamiento. Por supuesto, que existen errores irreversibles (perder una gran suma de dinero o de clientes) que provocan el despido automático, el autor supongo estará de acuerdo.

 Para las cuestiones legales-morales, ¿tú podrías decir que el artículo aplica? 

¿Qué es mejor: vivir bien o lograr mejores resultados? Supongo que la mayoría queremos un ambiente de trabajo donde ciertos tipos de errores no sean una crisis o se sientan como tal y no siempre son excluyentes. Pero dado que las empresas están orientadas a resultados con respecto a sus dueños, los incentivos no están alineados regularmente para lograrlo. La empresa puede tener una mentalidad del tipo: "demasiados errores que me cuestan dinero, mejor contratemos a otra u otro, al cabo es fácil de remplazar", por lo tanto, los empleados están incentivados a mentir y ocultar.
