Positive Leadership

Positive Leadership has the power to change the world. By focusing on trust, empathy and wellbeing, leaders can energize their teams to achieve success for individuals, their organization, and society overall. But it is still something that is relatively unknown outside academic circles. Join Jean-Philippe Courtois, a member of the Microsoft executive senior leadership team, as he brings Positive Leadership to life for anyone who acts in a leadership capacity, both personally and professionally. With help from his guests, Jean-Philippe will show you how purpose-led leaders can generate a positive energy that achieves commercial success, individual happiness and societal impact across a range of situations and sectors – from technology and social enterprise to sports and coffee. And most importantly, you’ll learn practical tips for applying it to your own life – so you can begin making a difference.

How to fail well (with Amy Edmondson)

September 04, 2024 • Jean-Philippe Courtois • Season 10 • Episode 1

“Failure is not an option”, “success is key”… Have you often heard those types of “encouragements” from coaches, parents, teachers or your boss?

Yet, who has never failed?

And more importantly, isn’t it counter-productive to deny failure?

Today, I am glad to share a different and much more efficient conception as I received Amy Edmondson in the podcast as she just launched her new book “Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well”.

My discussion with her echoed the episode with Dorie Clark onthe concept of “Reinventing yourself”. You can find it here: https://thepositiveleadershippodcast.buzzsprout.com/1798971/15190709-reinventing-yourself-with-dorie-clark

I can't help but think of my episode with Jesper Brodin, CEO of Ingka Group | IKEA. During our conversation, we explored the question, 'How do you create a culture that empowers people to take risks?'
