On today's episode I speak with Amy Edmonson, the brains behind the concept of psychological safety. We take a deep dive into the art of failure; how and why it happens, the different types of failure, her own experiences of failure, and why some failures are better than others and could be, in the right circumstances, transformative for your business.

She says: “A successful failure is one that teaches us something that we could not have learned any other way. It’s useful to the next step of the journey."

Research suggests that about 70% of us will end up feeling like a fraud at some point during our lives. In this week's episode, Sally Bibb, a partner at PA Consulting, gets under the skin of imposter syndrome, providing a practical framework for addressing feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy.

She also discusses why saying what you're good at doesn't have to mean bragging, the reason we might be focusing on the wrong things when it comes to boosting performance, and explains how it's possible to overdo it on our strengths.

“Making those steps from one industry to another you get to experience the best of everything. You never become institutionalised or entrenched in one industry or culture. You take a little patchwork of experience with you wherever you go.”

On this week's episode of Leadership Lessons, Jo Carman, director of Plusnet, discusses the lessons she learnt from her "squiggly" career, the major overhaul of Plusnet's customer offering and the challenges she faced when pitching her vision to Plusnet employees.

She also explains how she balances her role as director with being a chief marketing officer, including the "pitfalls of not setting boundaries".

On the latest episode of Leadership Lessons, Éilis Cronin and Management Today’s new editor, Claire Warren, discuss whether Unilever’s softening of its green policies mean it’s turning its back on ESG, should all talk of politics be banned from the workplace and if the government’s new visa requirements are a spanner in the works for recruitment.

It is an indictment of the value organisations place on management, in Ann Francke’s view, that 82% of those promoted into these roles have had no proper training.

This week on Leadership Lessons, the Chartered Management Institute's chief discusses why the prevalence of so-called 'accidental managers' is bad news for organisations, the economy and, of course, the individuals being managed.

She also explains why blanket return-to-the-office edicts are about "control", how self-confidence and self-awareness are the foundation of good management, and the reasons why she chooses to be honest about past failures.
