#373 Ask the Expert: Failure

his week Sarah talks to Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson to explore the concept of intelligent failure. Together they discuss why not all failure is born equal, why some types of failure are how we make progress and the importance of learning over knowing. To dive deeper into Amy's work we'd recommend reading her new book Right Kind of Wrong - the science of failing well (her other book, The Fearless Organisation is also excellent if you'd like to learn more about psychological safety)
