The Right Kind of Wrong

The Right Kind of Wrong is one of those books that sticks with you—not just because it’s smart, but because it’s useful. Amy Edmondson does a great job breaking down the different types of failure and showing how not all mistakes are created equal. Her idea of “intelligent failure” is a game-changer—especially for anyone who leads teams or works in complex environments. The book is full of real stories that make the concepts easy to relate to, and it challenges you to think differently about what it means to take risks and learn.

What I really appreciated was how readable it is. Edmondson is a great writer—clear, engaging, and thoughtful. She manages to blend research with storytelling in a way that doesn’t feel heavy or academic. It’s the kind of bookyou can hand to a colleague, a client, or even your team and know it’ll spark some good conversations. I came away with a healthier view of failure and a few practical tools I’ve already started using.
