Right Kind of Wrong

Amy Edmondson

Why I recommend it

This helps leaders talk more clearly about failure. Not every mistake comes from the same cause or needs the same response.

What it changed in my thinking

We can correct what was avoidable while still recognizing the uncertainty involved in trying something new.

Who it’s useful for

Leaders and teams trying to learn from mistakes.

A tension or limitation

Calling something a useful failure doesn’t make it one. What did we set out to learn, and what will we change?
