Right Kind of Wrong by Harvard professor Amy Edmondson explores how to fail well. The author distinguishes three failure types: basic failures (preventable through checklists), complex failures (systemic), and intelligent failures (necessary for progress). Drawing on 25 years of research across healthcare and business, Edmondson offers three key mindsets—self-awareness, situational awareness, and systems thinking—to transform failure into growth. With compelling real-world cases, this book reveals how embracing failure wisely creates breakthrough innovation and organizational resilience in our uncertain world.
