my manager allowed me to fail because of the company motto fail harder. I found this to be one of the most powerful, motivational messages, both in the workplace and elsewhere and once I experienced it, it became central to my professional vision, it brilliantly neutralizes the fear of failure by sending a compassionate message. That failure is OK and will be tolerated even encouraged. Failure harder makes it clear that failure is a necessary part of growth, and then you have to put all of yourself into an endeavor even if a result in failure and in the cracks of failure you may learn something meaningful about yourself.
