Week 14 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?

• I really enjoyed reading about forming an entrepreneurial mindset; this is something that I think is really important in all aspects of life, especially in today's business society. 

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

• Reading about how it is unproductive to punish failure was a bit confusing at first because it is so contrary to what you would expect to see as an incentive to fail less, or succeed more, but it makes sense that 

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?

• How do you orient people with different opinions, or people at a standstill in one direction to foster productivity?
• On an innovative team, is it a good idea to continuously change the individuals that are holding that position to avoid monopolization of the "innovation power" of a company?

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

• I agreed with just about everything that I read in these chapters.
