本章纲要：Failing and Learning at Work
一、定义：什么是工作中的失败？
作者在书中对工作中的失败定义是宽泛的，包括：“failures, mistakes, and tragedies” ，个人会有失败，团队，组织，公司也一样。个人和团队在经历失败后同样都需要Resilience:
二、失败 的重要意义
To be resilient after failures, we have to learn from them.
从失败中学习，这个听起来老声常谈的，实际操作起来还是有一定难度.
三、 为什么说起来容易做起来难？
大多数时候，面对失败我们的反应是，我们知道这个错误，以后不这么做了。“Most of the time, we know this; we just don’t do it.” 内心却是不愿意承认错误。面对错误我们往往三缄其口，不但自己不能提，更不能让别人提。
四、公司组织如何帮助个人从失败中学习？
1. creating a culture where failure is seen as a learning opportunity
2. convincing people to be more open about failure
五、没有组织的帮助，个人如何从失败中有效学习提升？
每个人都有盲点，我们自己看不到自己的弱点，但是别人却可以。有时候我们否认自己的弱点，有时候我们只是不知道自己真的做错了。
1. 接受他人的对自己的建议
2. 接受他人的反馈, being open to criticism, the ability to listen to feedback is a sign of resilience
3. ask others to hold up a mirror (reveal to someone what they look like to the rest of the world.)
六、如何建立resilient organization?
公开诚实的沟通taking open and honest communication
下面这段话值得注意：一个公司跨了，也许就是因为没有说真话。
“When companies fail, it’s usually for reasons that almost everyone knows but almost no one has voiced. When someone isn’t making good decisions, few have the guts to tell that person, especially if that person is the boss.”
说实话，由于东西方文化的差异，这种公开，诚实的沟通不知道在国内是否可行。
感悟：
读这一章还是挺有感触的，我们大多数人可能仅仅停留在认识到自己的失败，错误这个环节，真正从失败中学习的不多。
文中最让我深刻的是作者提到的那个黑板报：Write Your Biggest Regret
大部分的让人遗憾的事是什么？
“the majority of regrets were about failures to act, not actions that failed.”
不是做某些事情失败，而是压根没行动过。
你都没有做，哪里来的失败！
用下面这句话勉励自己做个行动派。如果这个月你只读了几天书就说我读不下去原版书，同理。读都没有去读，就说自己读不下去。如果有时间，我会针对这个话题写一篇小文。
