Could you be failing better? In this episode of Coaching Revealed, we share an exclusive keynote address from Amy Edmondson, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School. This keynote was originally presented at the Institute of Coaching’s 2024 Coaching in Leadership and Healthcare Conference.
In a hyper-competitive business landscape, the possibility of failure creates a dilemma for business leaders. Balancing cutting edge innovation while striving for perfection leaves seemingly zero room for error. Edmondson describes how intelligent failures are an opportunity, and trial and error is something for us all to attempt to embrace.
In this episode of Coaching Revealed, Amy Edmondson covers:
- The three types of failure
- The shortcomings of workplace cultures that reject failure
- The criteria for how to make intelligent failures
- The leadership practices for psychological safety and failure
