Description
Failure is often viewed as a problem to be avoided, but what if it's not? In fact, some failures are essential to success. Organisational psychologist Amy Edmondson reveals how we get failure wrong and how to get it right. Drawing on four decades of research into the world's most effective teams, she identifies three archetypes of failure and explains how to harness their potential.
Edmondson's approach challenges the conventional wisdom that failure is either something to be avoided or embraced. Instead, she shows how to distinguish between good and bad failures, and how to use the former to drive success. By learning to fail well, we can take smarter risks and achieve our goals.
With a clear and provocative perspective, Edmondson offers a fresh perspective on failure and its role in achieving success. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to improve their approach to risk-taking and team performance.
