Understanding Different Types of Failures
Psychological safety encourages admitting mistakes rather than feeling happy about making them. Mistakes are deviations from known practices, while failures result from unpredictable outcomes in new territory. Mistakes and failures are not interchangeable terms; mistakes are deviations, failures are unpredictable outcomes. Basic failures stem from mistakes, while complex failures result from multiple factors coinciding negatively. Intelligent failures are results of thoughtful attempts in new territory, pursuing a goal with no established playbook, limited to the necessary failure to gain knowledge for progress.
