About this audiobook
Named #1 Best Business Book of 2011, by Patriot-News-PennLive.com
If you have ever flown in an airplane, used electricity from a nuclear power plant, or taken an antibiotic, you have benefited from a brilliant mistake.
Each of these life-changing innovations was the result of many missteps and an occasional brilliant insight that turned a mistake into a surprising portal of discovery. In Brilliant Mistakes, Paul Schoemaker, founder and chairman of Decision Strategies International, shares critical insights on the surprising benefits of making well-chosen mistakes.
Brilliant Mistakes explores why minimizing mistakes may be the greatest mistake of all, situations when mistakes are most beneficial and when they should be avoided, the counter-intuitive idea that we should deliberately permit errors at times, and how to make the most of brilliant mistakes to improve business results.
Brilliant Mistakes is based on solid academic research and insights from Schoemaker's work with more than 100 organizations, as well as his provocative Harvard Business Review article with Robert Gunther, “The Wisdom of Deliberate Mistakes.” Schoemaker provides a practical roadmap for using mistakes to accelerate learning for your organization and yourself.
Gildan Media is proud to bring you another Wharton Digital Press Audiobook. These notable audiobooks contain the essential tools that can be applied to every facet of your career.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book . Practical use and verte Clear and innovative
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Too impressive book ! I was quite skeptic and surely even more curious before reading it - Today I learn the difference between silly errors and brilliant mistakes and therefore valuable lessons all of us could learn at the end !I would then record this sentence in the book as leitmotiv "... Since mistakes have been so valuable to you - Why don't you make a few more ? ..." However - One important thing come into my mind that reflects and illustrates perfectly the beauty of this book - the Taoist story of the farmer horse whose ran away !" Sunday, March 25 - 2012
