"Disappointment is a fact of life. But maybe we can get better at managing it."

Great quote, and even greater write up.

See also "being less wrong" about stuff. Particularly in a business context.

The idea that a leader (or just a group of people) can have some ability to hit the jackpot straight out, or to know the one true way of doing anything fully-formed, seems to me to be the root cause of disappointment.
