    • Education

2x #1 management thinker in the world (per Thinkers50) and Harvard Business School Professor Amy Edmondson and I speak about her new book Right Kind of Wrong, centered around the science of failing well. We uncover the secrets behind intelligent failures, social media's impact on our views of success, and how we can befriend failure (specifically referencing entrepreneurship, athletics, parenthood, and more).

Amy Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. 

Amy has been recognized by the biannual Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers since 2011, and most recently was ranked #1 management thinker in the world in 2021 and 2023.  

Amy’s latest book, Right Kind of Wrong, builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about, discussing, and practicing the science of failing well. 

The book is due to be translated into 24 additional languages, and in December 2023, was the first mainstream management book ever to win the Financial Times and Schroders Best Business Book of the Year award.
