So basically you know there are going to be failures along the way no matter what you do but if you can speed that process up so that if you ARE going to fail well then you will want to fail fast. This way you can move onto another project or initiative that you may have a better chance at succeeding at. Oh and pocketing all that great knowledge you learned from your previous failure(s).

He was very interested in who the Latest Leaders were in the industry very much like the leaders above. Chuck also joked about Dean Ammer who he had shared the stage with a few times and made mention that he "Never bought a Healthcare Product In His Life." (Dean was an academic) But Chuck stated that he liked what Dean Ammer did for healthcare and agreed with many of his principles. In a way I could tell that they may have been a bit of competing Healthcare Guru's at the time. Every time I see a Chuck Housley (Controling Hospital Supply Inventories, Product Standardization and Evaluation or the old Materials Management Quarterly guidebooks) or Dean Ammer (Materials Management and Purchasing is my favorite) book on Amazon or Ebay, I snatch it up they may be dated but there is really some great gems in those books.
