The Other “F” Word
How Smart Leaders, Teams, and Entrepreneurs Put Failure to Work
Wiley, 2015
Sobre o que é?
If you fail, learn from it and leverage it: You’re unlikely to fail at the same thing twice.
Recommendation
If you fail big at a particular goal, you can almost count on never failing at that thing again. As the saying goes, “Once bitten, twice shy.” Authors John Danner and Mark Coopersmith explain how failure can serve as a valuable “strategic resource” for any organization. They show how you and your employees can leverage failure so that it becomes an asset, not a liability. The authors teach you to think about failure in light of Thomas Edison’s approach, which they paraphrase as: “I have not failed. I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” This is a terrific, solid manual. Its only drawback is its suggestive title – and its use of that other word, so consider yourself warned. getAbstract otherwise recommends this intelligent look at a difficult topic to executives, managers, entrepreneurs, HR officers, and anyone determined to learn from failure and succeed in the long run.
