Episode Synopsis

Robert Kunzman, a professor of education at Indiana University, believes that learning from failure is crucial for leaders and fundraisers to develop and improve their skills. He emphasizes the importance of feedback, making failure public, and developing skills and habits to analyze and learn from failures. Kunzman also introduces the concept of a pre-mortem analysis, which involves anticipating and analyzing potential failures before they occur. Creating a culture that accepts and manages failure is important as it can help strengthen overall team dynamics and allow leaders to take creative risks without feeling overwhelmed by failure.
