MGOB-866 Managing Failure for Success
This course brings to light one of the most
important yet vastly unmentionable topics of
management: Failure. We will examine various
aspects of failure from a sense making perspective
at the organizational and individual levels,
within emphasis on the latter. Examples of course
questions include: What is failure? How do I
usually handle it? Can I change if I want to? How?
We will adopt an action learning pedagogical
perspective so that students may enjoy the
difference between mere knowing and understanding
of material, on the one hand, and acting upon
their understanding, on the other hand, to detect
and possibly correct their frameworks for personal
groundings, meaning-making, and failure
handling strategies. There are no formal academic
prerequisites for the course, except a desire for
personal mastery and a white belt mentality.
