What I learned from sticking my hand in a lawnmower
So why I am telling you about this non-event in my life? Well, it’s worth talking about because what happened with me and the lawn mower was what we’d call a near miss. Nothing bad happened – but it sure could have. Forward-thinking leaders in many industries and companies look at near-miss data as a way to help learn from their mistakes before they have had to pay the consequences of a disaster. Statistically, the more near misses there are, the more serious incidents will follow.
