If you innovate, you have to have the freedom to fail, often repeatedly. Most companies (large or small) do not tolerate failure, especially the repeated kind.
I heard the opposite, where people like those who tried and failed, which is why trump's failures were seen as good. Its better to try and fail than never try.
It's different if it's your own company though. You can fail as much as you want, until you run out of money. :-)
