In the late 1990s, Harvard Business School researcher Amy Edmondson<\/a> set out to study clinical teams in hospitals, expecting to find that the highest-performing teams<\/a> made the fewest errors. Instead, she discovered a paradox: the best teams appeared to be making more mistakes than their lower-performing counterparts<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Upon closer inspection, the reality became clear. The top teams weren’t actually failing more often; they were simply more willing to report, discuss, and learn from their errors<\/em>. The lower-performing ones, on the other hand, were hiding problems out of fear.<\/p>\r\n
