I was recently interviewed by Megan Wallin-Kirth for an article she wrote for Quality Digest. I thought she was interviewing me for a broader article about quality, but it ended up being a profile of me and my latest book, The Mistakes That Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation. So I'm happy about how that turned out.

How to Use Mistakes to Improve Quality

Or, how mistakes factor into a kaizen mindset

And I might have forgotten to share this article that I wrote for Quality Digest back in September… yes, it's an intentionally provocative title, but I stand by what I wrote and I think there's a serious point to be made:

Stop Spending Money on Problem-Solving Training

Focus on psychological safety instead
