Learning Through Failure: Why Small Losses Make Teams Stronger

Описание: What if the secret to resilience and success is strategic failure?

In his influential 1990 paper, Sim Sitkin introduced the concept of “Learning Through Failure: The Strategy of Small Losses.” He argued that the most resilient teams and organisations don’t just tolerate mistakes — they design for them.

Rather than chasing perfection, Sitkin’s research shows that small, manageable failures provide the feedback needed to grow, adapt, and avoid catastrophic breakdowns later. These “small losses” act as learning laboratories — where innovation, creativity, and resilience are built.

In this video, we explore:
✅ What Sitkin meant by “the strategy of small losses”
✅ How small failures drive big learning
✅ Why high-performing teams create a culture that embraces mistakes
✅ How leaders can turn setbacks into a system for growth

If you want to build a team that learns faster, adapts smarter, and bounces back stronger, this concept will change the way you think about failure.
