Amy Edmondson & Adam Grant: Decoding failure, debunking feedback, & harnessing learning for success

What happens when the two most influential management thinkers get together to riff their ideas against each other? The result: an inspiring and illuminating conversation about how to manage (and maximise learning from) failure and how to unlock hidden potential (it’s not about where you start; it's how far you can go).

On the money! Destigmatise failure. Feedforward (Advice). Context matters. Eliminate the fear. Make it worthwhile. Your voice matters. Etc. So many managers in business don't get it. Leaders listen up!
