#27 The Science of Failing Well with Amy Edmondson

  • Summary

  • What if failure wasn’t something to fear, but a doorway to learning and growth?

    In this episode, I sit down with Harvard professor and best-selling author Amy Edmondson to explore the surprising upside of failure, inspired by her new book, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well. Amy shares her concept of “intelligent failure”—a thoughtful approach to trying new things where, even if the outcome isn’t perfect, the lessons are invaluable. Together, we dive into the power of self-compassion, why leaders’ responses to mistakes are so important, and how recognizing our shared imperfections can create stronger connections.

    If you’ve ever felt held back by imposter syndrome or the fear of “getting it wrong,” this conversation will help you see failure in a whole new way, embracing it with courage and curiosity.
