Recommendation

Amy Edmondson and Adam Grant, two heavyweights of organizational psychology, discuss the intersection of their ideas — intelligent failure and hidden potential, respectively. In conversation with management theorist Des Dearlove, Edmondson and Grant jovially exchange views, questions, and explanations. The result is a warm meeting of minds, as the academics expound on their latest research. So grab a coffee and eavesdrop on their informal chat about failure, feedback, learning, and success.

Take-Aways

  • To excel in any field, be prepared to learn from failure. 
  • Pursue the “right kind of wrong” to further your knowledge and make progress.
  • Solicit advice, not feedback.
