Continuous improvement, understanding complex systems and promoting innovation are all part of the landscape of the learning challenges companies face today. The pace of change and the fluidity of most work structures means that it's not really about creating effective teams anymore, but instead about leading effective teaming. This Masters Series demonstrates that organizations learn when the flexible, fluid collaborations they encompass are able to learn. The problem is teams, and other dynamic groups, don't learn naturally. Edmondson outlines the factors that prevent them from doing so, such as interpersonal fear, irrational beliefs about failure, groupthink, problematic power dynamics, and information hoarding. Learn how you can shape these factors by encouraging reflection, creating psychological safety, and overcoming defensive interpersonal dynamics that inhibit the sharing of ideas. You will also walk away with practical management strategies to help your organization realize the benefits inherent in both success and failure.
