Black Box Thinking: Why Most People Never Learn from Their Mistakes--But Some Do
Matthew Syed's Black Box Thinking explores how various organizations and individuals respond to failure. Syed contrasts fields like aviation, which systematically investigates accidents to improve safety, with others, such as healthcare and criminal justice, that often avoid examining failures. He highlights the role of cognitive dissonance, where individuals distort information to protect their self-image, hindering learning from mistakes. The book champions a "growth mindset," encouraging the embracing of failure as a learning opportunity, promoting iterative testing ("marginal gains"), and creating systems that foster open communication about errors. Ultimately, it argues for shifting from a blame culture to one that prioritizes learning and adaptation.
