  • Amazing video!

  • I agree this was very useful. A great help!

  • Really Informative.

  • Very interesting interview.

    Nice to follow the deafening dialogue comments.

  • "...it does still impart essential skills in the great majority."

    Bull. It aint nothing but talk and hearsay. These are the same kids that busted their butts being the yes men and women in the schools. If you want to learn from failure look at the kids in school who took risks and didn't listen to the status quo. They were the status quo and made things happened. All this is nonsense. Study the successful. If you want to learn failure and be an academic then take her advice.

  • @JasonCWaite Hello Jason,

    I agree with you on education. Whilst it is not perfect, it does still impart essential skills in the great majority. In terms of creativity and resourceful solutions it is lacking as the late great Russel Ackoff also wrote. Ms Edmonson is a professor and therefore involved in higher education and research, to which she refers in her work on the shuttle disaster investigation, so her work will take her in and out of education and industry.

  • @BigErnie00 : Am glad I didn't! If you want your car fixed go ask a mechanic not an English teacher! If you want to be an entrepreneur go to an entrepreneur! Modern day academia and educational institutions are innately the "blame game." ... Here's a woman talking about business whiles she's a teacher. While I was in the streets doing it I had my experiences with these so called academics. If you want to learn from failure go fail. Do you think the school systems promote failure?

  • @BigErnie00: Agreed!

  • @JasonCWaite You obviously never followed your English teacher! 

  • We trust no longer academia. We have been through it. We have been conditioned by it. It's a myth. We're now seeing these realities.

    If you want to know who the successful are, by them who are. Would you go get your car fixed from your heart surgeon? Would you go get your heart operated on by your mechanic?

    Academic is a myth. Follow the success of those your looking to emulate.
