Haikus Learning & Thinking

An Accountability Haiku

(To) Be accountable.

Culture of failing, learning.

Growth, not punishment.

– A haiku about how communities – companies, schools, families – cannot have a culture of accountability without first fostering a culture of learning (because if every mistake is met with scolding then why would we ever own up to mistakes and learn from them?!).
