It’s an exciting time to be at Fortive, as technology trends open up exciting new possibilities for innovation and growth. We see the big picture and work to solve customers’ most important problems—sometimes problems they don’t even know exist. We embrace a growth mindset at every level, staying open to new ways to innovate and grow. “We want you to take risks. We know that’s going to mean that sometimes you fail, but we want to make sure we’re resilient in that failure, so we learn something, so we don’t make the same mistake twice, and so we know that in the long run, we’re going to be in a much better place if we celebrate our failures.” Jim Lico President & CEO DRIVING GROWTH A proven playbook.
