I sometimes think about this in the political realm, too. The ability to get elected and the ability to govern effectively seem to be almost uncorrelated to me. I'm sorry to say. Do you think that's the case and do you apply this spectrum sometimes to the political realm? I don't think it was always the case.

But, you know, if I recall correctly, even though he was on that commission to investigate, they tried to essentially shut him up. They didn't want that news coming out at the hearing. They wanted you know, they didn't want the failure to be so explicit.

By the way, if you don't remember the story of Richard Feynman and the Challenger investigation and the O-rings, don't worry. Last year, we made a three-part series about Feynman. The story of his role in the Challenger investigation is covered in part one of that series called The Curious Mr. Feynman. Okay, back to failure. The fifth cause of failure on Amy Edmondson's spectrum is uncertainty.

The final cause of failure, we have by now moved all the way from the blameworthy end of the spectrum to the praiseworthy. is simply called experimentation.

So that is Amy Edmondson's entire spectrum of the causes of failure. Sabotage, inattention, inability, task challenge, uncertainty, and experimentation. If you're like me, as you hear each of the categories, you automatically try to match them up with specific failures of your own.
