    About this audiobook

    Winner of the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year 2023
    A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2023

    A revolutionary guide that will transform your relationship with failure, from the pioneering researcher of psychological safety and award-winning Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson.

    We used to think of failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two “failure cultures”: one that says to avoid failure at all costs, the other that says fail fast, fail often. The trouble is that both approaches lack the crucial distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.

    After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us. In Right Kind of Wrong, Edmondson provides the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely. Outlining the three archetypes of failure—basic, complex, and intelligent—Amy showcases how to minimize unproductive failure while maximizing what we gain from flubs of all stripes. She illustrates how we and our organizations can embrace our human fallibility, learn exactly when failure is our friend, and prevent most of it when it is not. This is the key to pursuing smart risks and preventing avoidable harm.

    With vivid, real-life stories from business, pop culture, history, and more, Edmondson gives us specifically tailored practices, skills, and mindsets to help us replace shame and blame with curiosity, vulnerability, and personal growth. You’ll never look at failure the same way again.

    Editor's Note

    Empowering…

    We’re often taught to avoid failure, but what if there was a better way to live, work, and grow? Harvard Business School professor Edmonson (“The Fearless Organization”) guides readers on the “right” way to fail and how organizations can use psychological safety to transform missteps into learning experiences. A powerful — and empowering — lesson on the iterative nature of life.

      A great book to read or listen to that encourages learning and moving forward in a very in depth way. A great read to study. Thank you Amy Edmondson for sharing your discovery’s in writing this book. Took me a little over a week to listen to it driving to and from work, and when out walking and doing simple chores.

      Super David Scott, the Zam Man.

      Harvard business school has nothing to teach us. Not interested in so called scholarship from an institution that can't understand its roots in antisemitism. No thanks.
