Q & A with Laurence G. Weinzimmer and Jim McConoughey, Authors of The Wisdom of Failure Laurence G. Weinzimmer Jim McConoughey There have been many examples of high profile business failures spotlighted in the press. Why do you believe news stories about failure have become so much more prevalent in recent times?

Harvard Business Review devoted an entire issue to this topic in April, 2011. The recession has clearly created a new paradigm: to become an effective leader, it is not only about doing the "right" things; it is also about avoiding the "wrong" things.

Why did you decide to study failure?

What can understanding failure teach both seasoned and aspiring leaders that they can't learn only by modeling success?

What are the specific benefits of learning from failure?

For The Wisdom of Failure you conducted almost 1,000 interviews with managers and leaders. What about those interviews most surprised you?

The Wisdom of Failure—‘Does This Doorframe Make My Head Look Big?’—I knew I was in for a real treat. Luckily for me, the rest of the book does not disappoint. Through their analysis of many pointed leadership examples in American business, the authors distill corporate lessons into pearls of wisdom from which all of us can learn.”

In their well-researched book, the authors give leaders the tough love they need to learn from their mistakes before their mistakes become costly. A must-read for aspiring, new, and seasoned leaders.”
