Tiger Therapy Learning From Failure, Coping With Self Doubt and Psychological Safety at Work - Amy Edmondson
I don’t know about you, but whenever I’ve tried something new in life and it hasn’t gone well, the little voice inside my head that whispers “you’re not good enough” gets much louder.
Failure can be painful and can be an incredibly strong fuel to our self-doubt.
I am BEYOND excited to introduce this weeks Tiger Therapy episode with Amy Edmondson!!!
Amy Edmondson is very modest, so allow me to blow her trumpet for her - she is a ROCKSTAR in academic circles.
She is Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School, Thinkers50 #1 Ranked Thinker in the World and an award winning author.
'Psychological safety' - the term she coined in the 90’s is what truly put her name on the map. This term has become widely used in discussions about company culture and good leadership.
In her Tiger Therapy episode, Amy talks about her new book ‘Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, where she outlines her research into failure.
Spoiler: the popular Silicon Valley-style narrative of the benefits of failure isn’t quite right.
She also opens up about how her own failures caused her profound self doubt and made her question everything.
Thank you Amy for the brilliant conversation!
