Episode Synopsis

Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School is our latest guest on the podcast. In her early career she worked alongside her hero (and ours) Buckminster Fuller as 'Chief Engineeer'. What an amazing connection.
Charming and gracious, Amy is a research professor who is 'In Her Element' when teaching a group of students, and asking them deep questions to help them make sense and meaning of the topic at hand.
Amy is the author of: The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth, and which is currently taking the business world by storm.
Although she had been researching and speaking on the topic for decades, it was Project Aristotle from Google, which prompted her to write her latest highly engaging and relevant book - and as she puts it 'tie it in a bow'. She tells the story of some of her more suprising discoveries - into worlds of mistakes and fear, and positive success in high performing organisations and teams. Well researched and a must read for all leaders, HR professionals, and organisations that want to know how achieve success.
The quote she chose to share with our listeners,

I seem to be a verb - Richard Buckminster Fuller

So many gems to highlight in just 30 minutes. Tune in to the full episode.
