1. The biggest surprise for me was in Chapter 3 when I read that one of the factors involved for encouraging innovation in businesses is to not punish failure. I always came with the mindset that if you fail, you are disciplined for messing up. However, I now see that should only happen in some cases in life, and pursuing innovative ways to succeed in business is not one of those moments to end in punishment, but hopefully instead an important lesson learned on how to do better next time.
2. There wasn't anything in Chs. 3 and 4 that were confusing to me. I just still struggle at times with comprehending the overall language in the book.
3. Does failure always have to equal no punishment? Maybe they failed because of laziness or some other negative factor that they could have prevented but didn't, and punishment would be the consequence of these poor actions. Also, how big should I-Teams be? I wonder how effective their work would be depending on large or small numbers of members.
4. I think that sometimes, not always, but sometimes one should be punished for failure, depending on context. If it was a genuine attempt to succeed in something, then no punishment. If one failed because of laziness, poor management in timing and organization, etc., then punishment is a possible option.
