The Other “F” Word: How Smart Leaders, Teams, and Entrepreneurs Put Failure to Work

Do you seek innovation, growth and better results?

In the long run, ability to develop a productive relationship with The Other F Word (failure) can separate winners from losers in business. In this highly-praised and ground-breaking book, Mark Coopersmith and his co-author John Danner share insights on how to:

·Reduce failure’s damage in organizations of all sizes, types, and stages

·Extract actionable insights when failures do occur

·Put new knowledge to work using Coopersmith and Danner’s new framework, the Failure Value Cycle

The authors, both Senior Fellows at UC Berkeley, created this book out of a course they created for the MBA program at the Haas School of Business. The Other F Word draws on research and interviews with leaders who leveraged past failures to drive stronger performance.

Failure’s like gravity – pervasive and powerful. Whether you’re a leader or team member of a startup, a growing business, or an established enterprise, failure is today’s lesson for tomorrow. The Other F Word shows you how to apply this lesson and ensure success in your organization.
