About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must ‘fail fast, fail often’. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.
Here, Amy Edmondson – the world’s most influential organisational psychologist – reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. Drawing on four decades of research into the world’s most effective teams, she unveils the three archetypes of failure – basic, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad). Along the way, she poses a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

I had to pace the book. it's clear that it came from an academic, which often means the most easily digestible information is towards the last few chapters, which proves true here. the opening chapters are language, padding and frameworks for the later thesis.
However, it collates an amazing array of narratives re failure and proves through them the ways in which humanity and it's collectives can often mean well and fail hard.
Rather than leave you with an overwhelming sense of doom and gloom due to seeing how little value modern corporates place on such practices, it leaves you with a weird sense of hope and encouragement in the "how much more" we could achieve.
