Company Failure Quotes

Pharmaceutical companies are enjoying unprecedented profits and access with this Administration. Yet the Republicans’ prescription drug plan for seniors has been a colossal failure, and over 43 million Americans wake up every morning without health insurance Picture Quote #1

In other words, don’t expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say ‘we have a problem, let’s go and get it’ Picture Quote #1

I think the company’s [HP’s] success will be my legacy. The company’s failure will be my failure, with all the predictable consequences of that Picture Quote #1

That first company I started made a lot of money for the venture capitalists - nearly $30 million - but next to nothing for the founders. The companies I started after that varied between failures and mediocre successes. But at no point did I ever consider getting a ‘real job.’ That felt like a black and white world, and I wanted Technicolor Picture Quote #1

And obviously, with hindsight now, now knowing what went on in the company, it would have been absolutely appropriate back then for us to have the chief executive of the company, most senior person in the United Kingdom, come and answer for the policy they were pursuing. And we ducked that, and frankly that’s a failure of Parliament Picture Quote #1

We don’t grow unless we take risks. Any successful company is riddled with failures Picture Quote #1

I’ve learnt something from every failure. The products I helped design at the first two companies I worked for were utter failures. But now I know why Picture Quote #1

I just think that it’s maybe fashionable today to try to take individual actions and individual failures and take the broadest possible brush and try to paint a company Picture Quote #1

But if you look at WorldCom, which is the biggest failure to date, they grew dramatically, they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock Picture Quote #1

Nothing helps make a leader more approachable than admitting your struggles, screw-ups and behind-the-scenes thinking on hard calls. If the leader makes this a priority, the whole company will be more open and methodical learning from failure Picture Quote #1

In most parts of the world, starting a company that goes bust is dubbed a ‘failure.’ In Silicon Valley, we call this ‘gaining experience.’ We are willing to take the risks that are inherent for innovation Picture Quote #1

Our managers hadn’t had that kind of success - the record company hadn’t, we hadn’t - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn’t it would be some kind of failure Picture Quote #1

Every company needs to have a skunkworks, to try things that have a high probability of failing. You try to minimize failure, but at the same time, if you’re not willing to try things that are inherently risky, you’re not going to make progress Picture Quote #1

Failure of your company is not failure in life. Failure in your relationships is Picture Quote #1

Any company designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st Picture Quote #1

Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them Picture Quote #1
