We invite members of the Stanford community to join us January 9, 2024 from 9am – 10am PT for a webinar featuring Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab affiliated faculty Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, renowned for her ground-breaking research on psychological safety. Professor Edmondson will lead off the session by sharing insights from her new book “Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well," in which she draws on decades of original research to share how transforming our views on failure can lead us to more productive growth and progress. In her book, Edmondson illustrates how we and our organizations can embrace our human fallibility, learn exactly when failure is our friend, and prevent most of it when it is not. This is the key to pursuing smart risks and preventing avoidable harm.

During the session, Edmondson will provide attendees with the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely. She’ll inform us on how to distinguish good failure from bad and share practices, skills, and mindsets to help us replace shame and blame with curiosity, vulnerability, and personal growth. 

Professor Edmondson will then engage in a fireside chat with professor and Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab Director Shelley Correll that will be followed by some time for audience Q&A.

The webinar will last approximately 60 minutes. Live real-time captioning will be available. The webinar will be recorded and viewable by those with a SUNet ID login for a limited time afterwards.
