Amy Edmondson (Harvard Business School) talks to Mike Carden about the importance of psychological safety, the difference between failure that’s worth learning and failure that should be avoided, and the role of failure in innovation and progress.
“When we fail together, we’re disappointed together. So we roll up our sleeves and figure out what happens next, together.”
