"Humble people see value in errors and the information that they provide for their own learning. This gives them an edge over otheres."

Learning from errors and failures seems to be the mantra of our time. Popular approaches like Agile, Scrum, or Lean Startup all have turned the ability to experiment and quickly learn from mistakes into a core competence for the early 21st century. But learning from errors is easier said than done. From early childhood on, we are socialised to avoid making mistakes. Remember the red marks in school? So many people become defensive when something goes wrong and avoid talking about it. But there is hope!

In this masterclass, we talk about the mindset needed to learn from failure. If you are also interested in discussing how you can adopt this mindset for yourself - and how you spark it within others - register now and join ESCP Berlin Prof. Christoph Seckler and Manon Delespierre, Recruiting and Admissions Manager, Executive Education.

Is humility the new smart?
