Most large organisations fail before they succeed, and the small failures are early warning signs that change is needed. All of our research is showing that to succeed in business as entrepreneurs and leaders in industry we must redefine failure. We need to get better at failing. We need to understand it, learn from it and share what we have learnt. This podcast summarises our research into failure and the link with Psychological Safety, Resilience, Wellbeing, Impostor Syndrome and Belief.

The episode also looks at the neuroscience behind the importance of errors and failure, and the importance of errors to prime the central nervous system to learn, and how frustration plays such an important part in creating our awareness that something needs to change. It will examine from a psychology perspective, why don’t we learn failure and why we actively try to avoid it.

Finally we share some tips to recommend how we can overcome our reluctance to face up to failure so that we embed the motivation to keep trying and learn from our mistakes.
