Ninnu Campbell: How to Make People Fail

Ninnu shares her experiences and insights on the things people and companies do that get big stuff done or lead to the destruction of the company. Sheโ€™s worked for startups and global companies, in highly regulated industries, as well as ones where there are few rules. She has a strong understanding of how to get the best from teams and how companies often fail their people. She shares the good and the bad and some frameworks to get the best from your teams and encourage them to fail.

Humans fear failure but some failure is essential to progress. How can you encourage the right kind of failure in your organisation?
