Failure can be considered a learning opportunity under the right conditions and the right organizational culture. This article describes seven studies concerning people’s estimates of learning from previous failures (e.g., percent of nurses who pass the licensing exam after previously failing it) in various settings. Respondents consistently overestimated the success rate following failure in each of the study scenarios.
