Despite the harm that failure can cause, its value as a learning opportunity, if examined through the lens of human error rather than blame, cannot be understated. This book explores how failure that happens in new situations provides new insights toward goal achievement, utilizes knowledge and capitalizes on even small missteps, and can enhance and inform improvement.
