""We do stand up very often and say, 'I tried this, but it didn't work,' or 'I tried that, but it didn't work,' to try to normalize a failure," Smith said."
""Vulnerability is a superpower," she said. "As long as you don't continue to make the same mistakes over and over again, but you learn from the opportunities and you share what you're going to do differently moving forward, it makes a huge difference to the team.""
""One of the things that I appreciate about what AI is doing is lessening that invisible work and the burden of it so that it frees you up to have the capacity and bandwidth to focus on more"
Ania Smith instituted a "Nailed it, Failed it" segment where executives and employees publicly share major flops, especially from AI experiments. Teams are encouraged to say "I tried this, but it didn't work" to normalize failure and create a culture of experimentation. Emma Chalwin urges leaders to get more comfortable being uncomfortable and calls vulnerability a superpower, emphasizing learning from mistakes and sharing planned changes. Leaders should analyze failed AI pilots to determine why human involvement is needed to fix issues. Women adopt AI tools at a lower rate, and AI can reduce invisible administrative work to free capacity for higher-value tasks.
