If you're trying new things and not all of them succeed, that's called experimentation. When you deviate from known practice because of inattention or lack of training, on the other hand, that's probably a mistake.
For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson, an expert in psychological safety, to discuss:
+ Good and bad types of failure
+ Dangers of not experimenting enough
+ The tension between paying close attention to individual employees' needs, and those of the team and organization
This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live - and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

I, too, promote the act of learning through intelligent failures. It’s a significant transition for many companies that takes establishing trust and enabling psychological safety. In my opinion, as more companies move towards performance management, it will require a new way of benchmarking employees, that is focused on both present and future value exchange for customers.

It is hard to find those employees depending upon several factors even more. People pretend to be what you want to earn some money. And some, if they happen to have an opportunist lawyer, they will go to courts to extract more money of the entrepreneurs out there. Due to that, I have serious plans to move to a more prosperous country.

The pandemic exasperated the shift in human socialization that was already becoming emotionally and psychologically disconnected through addiction to engaging with our cellphone preferred over the power of in person socialization and conversation. The pandemic put humankind in physical isolation. Humankind had already begun emotional and psychological isolation via our obsession with cellphones. I've watched families at a restaurant table all on their cellphones. I've been with friends in person, sitting, waiting to talk to them while they surf Tik Tok videos on their cellphone. A Ted Talk I watched, the speaker described that her entire family were all at home texting each other from the room they were in.
