MeaningSphere Book Club - Right Kind of Wrong by Amy Edmondson
Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Description
Mark your calendars for Thursday April 25 at 12pm EDT! We're thrilled to announce that our next book club selection is Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well by Amy Edmondson.
Published in 2023, Right Kind of Wrong explores the science of failing well and the power of learning from our mistakes. Edmondson explores the different types of failures and how they can be an opportunity for growth, progress, and innovation. She keenly identifies two major "failure cultures" at play in the workplace: the "move fast and break things" people and the "failure is not an option" camp. Rather than endorsing either of these, she points the way to more nuanced perspective on failure; one that allows for the most personal growth and least harm. You may already be familiar with Edmondson through her groundbreaking research on psychological safety in teams.
