History is littered with commercial failures. Harvard Business
School professor Amy Edmondson, PhD, author of “Right Kind of
Wrong: The Science of Failing Well,” and organizational
psychologist Samuel West, PhD, curator of the Museum of Failure,
talk about some of commerce’s biggest flops, the difference between
simply failing and “failing well;” and how individuals and
organizations can get past the fear of failure, recognize its
potential upsides and learn from their mistakes.
