Black box thinking

The Surprising Truth About Success
Book • 2015
In 'Black Box Thinking', Matthew Syed explores the concept of embracing failure as a crucial step towards success.

He argues that the willingness to investigate and learn from mistakes is essential for progress and innovation.

The book draws on a wide range of case studies, including examples from healthcare, aviation, and sports, to illustrate how a culture that encourages learning from failure can lead to significant improvements.

Syed emphasizes the need to redefine failure, break down big problems into smaller parts, and adopt a growth mindset to achieve high performance in a complex and fast-changing world.
