Are you learning from failure?

Matthew Syed’s book “Black Box Thinking” (2015, John Murray Publishing, London) highlights some interesting aspects of learning from failure.

Syed compares the learning culture of the US Health Care Industry with the Aviation Industry and talks a lot about transparency, openness, reporting and the opportunity to learn from mistakes.

He also presents some challenging questions to ask yourself about whether or not you learn as an individual. Syed’s comment is if you answer no to any of the following, then you are not open to learn!

Do you fail in your judgements?
Do you ever get access to the evidence that shows where you might be going wrong?
Are your decisions ever challenged by objective data?
