Roula Khalaf, editor of the Financial Times and chair of the panel of judges, said: "Amy Edmondson lays out a powerful framework for how to learn from failure and deal with risk. Right Kind of Wrong is a highly readable and relevant book, with important lessons for leaders and managers everywhere."
Schroders Group CEO Peter Harrison added: "Failure often lies behind progress but is 'failing fast' really a good thing or simply a cliché? Amy Edmondson's Right Kind of Wrong provides clarity and practical prescription to address the issues businesses face every day. It is invaluable reading."
