328. How To Fail The Right Way feat. Amy Edmondson

As risk-averse individuals, we tend to try to avoid failure at all costs. But failing is an essential part of learning. So, how can we get better at it? And how can organizations create psychological safety so employees are more willing to take chances, even if it may lead to failure?
Amy Edmondson is a professor at Harvard Business School and studies psychological safety, organizational learning, and teaming. In her new book, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, she guides readers through the art of failing.
Amy and Greg discuss her psychological safety origin story, the taxonomy of failure, and the importance of learning how to fail right.
