The Culture Club identified fear of failure as a key issue to tackle. Our employees were good at their jobs, they cared, and they didn’t want to let their managers or their teammates down when something went wrong. They were failing at failing forward. So to get over that fear, they created FailCon, a failure convention to celebrate mistakes. Andy Goldberg, our creative director, led the way. We picked one day when everyone, in all of our teams, would share their failures in brown-bag discussions around the globe.
