I'm sorry to hear that, it seems to me that failure has never been an option where you worked. How was it possible in your org to innovate if they don't embrace failures?

There's a huge difference between innovating and embracing failure.

The only way to innovate is to keep trying new things until one of them succeeds. Failure is inherent to innovation.

Innovation isn't valuable or necessary for most businesses. Optimization, refinement, and careful evaluation of legal consequences get you a lot farther.
