Ranked first on the Thinkers50 list of most influential management thinkers, Amy Edmonson published a tome this past year (2023), Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, which is a helpful lens through which to look and consider the intersection of psychology and reality, when it comes to failure. Martin Reeves interviewed her recently for Rotman Management (Winter 2024), framing his questions on concepts from her book. My pencil notations and underlinings got me thinking about Edmonson’s distinction of types of failure, as well as other elements of psychology and awareness that are worth contemplation by the independent and international school sector.
