About the Work: In the past, we viewed failure as a problem to be avoided at all costs. Today, we are often told that failure is desirable—that we must "fail fast and often." The issue is that neither approach distinguishes between good and bad failures. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail wisely.

After decades of research, Amy C. Edmondson turns our understanding of failure upside down in her new book. She provides a framework for thinking about, discussing, and practicing failure wisely.

Amy C. Edmondson illustrates how we can minimize unproductive failure while maximizing the benefits of all types of mistakes. She shows how we can accept our human fallibility in organizations, learn precisely when failure is our friend, and largely avoid it when it is not. This is key to pursuing intelligent risks and avoiding costly damages.

Through vivid, real-life stories from business, pop culture, or history, Edmondson offers tailored practices, skills, and mindsets that help us replace shame and blame with curiosity, vulnerability, and personal growth. You will never view failure the same way again.

Target Audience: For leaders.
