How Learning to Fail Can Help People and Organisations to Thrive (an Interview with Amy Edmondson)

Digital HR Leaders with David Green

What does it mean to ‘fail’ well? How can you use the art of ‘failing’ to create a thriving organisation? What metrics do you need to gauge whether you are failing well?

As we mark the 200th episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green welcomes back Amy Edmondson, a renowned professor at Harvard Business School and a leading voice on psychological safety, to explore these very questions. Tune in as they discuss:

• The evolution of psychological safety in a post-pandemic world
• How to effectively embed psychological safety into organisational culture to support innovation and healthy experimentation
• Insights from Amy's latest book, "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well," including the three failure archetypes
• Strategies for HR to overcome the fear of failure
• The importance of distinguishing between good and bad failures
• Advice for HR and people leaders on embedding a failure culture within their organisations
• How data can be used to gauge whether an organisation is "failing well"
