'Amy Edmondson shows us how we can make room for failure,
recognising that our emotions and personal needs are part of the
solution. Right Kind of Wrong will inspire you to do your boldest
work.' Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar and author of Creativity,
Inc. We all fail sometimes. Now, a world-leading Harvard professor
reveals how these failures can lead us to happier, more successful
lives - provided we know how to learn from them. We used to think
of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're
often told that failure is desirable - that we must 'fail fast,
fail often'. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the
good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to
fail well. Here, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential
organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and
how to get it right. She draws on a lifetime's research into the
science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful
cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your
mistakes being held against you. She introduces the three
archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and
explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good
ones (and eliminate the bad). And she tells vivid stories ranging
from the history of open heart surgery to the Columbia Space
Shuttle disaster, all to ask a simple, provocative question: What
if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly
succeed?
