Positive Leadership

How to fail well (with Amy Edmondson)

“Failure is not an option”, “success is key”… Have you often heard those types of “encouragements” from coaches, parents, teachers or your boss?  

Yet, who has never failed? 

And more importantly, isn’t it counter-productive to deny failure?  

Today, I am glad to share a different and much more efficient conception as I received Amy Edmondson in the podcast as she just launched her new book “Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well”. 


My discussion with her echoed the episode with Dorie Clark onthe concept of “Reinventing yourself”. You can find it here: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/15190709-reinventing-yourself-with-dorie-clark 

I can't help but think of my episode with Jesper Brodin, CEO of Ingka Group | IKEA. During our conversation, we explored the question, 'How do you create a culture that empowers people to take risks?'
