= Right kind of wrong : the science of failing well

作者艾美‧艾德蒙森是哈佛商學院教授及”心理安全感”概念先驅，累積25年研究成果呈現於本書。失敗並非都是壞事－本書教您如何辨別三種失敗類型：基本型失敗（多因疏忽可避免）、複雜型失敗（系統環境導致）與智能失敗（進步的必要代價）。透過自我覺察、狀態意識與系統意識三項思維，您將學會從失敗中汲取力量，而非沉溺於恐懼。從醫療團隊到商業創新，書中豐富案例揭示失敗與成長的辯證關係。這是一部幫助您和組織在不確定的未來中韌性前進的智慧之作。
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.
