Increase Your Return on Failure (Unabridged‪)‬

In the 10-plus years we’ve spent researching team and organizational dynamics and working with more than 50 companies across a dozen industries, we’ve found that when people adopt the right mindset, they can increase their return on failure ratio - not just by minimizing the downsides of projects but also by maximizing the upsides. Some failures provide immediate value in the form of market insights that can be capitalized on. Others provide broader lessons that lead to significant personal or organizational development.

"Increase Your Return on Failure" is from the May 2016 issue of Harvard Business Review.
