Celebrating Failure is the definitive how-to manual for leaders seeking to embrace the power of failure as a
learning tool to improve their organizations and to achieve ever-greater goals in life.
Celebrating Failure provides a paradigm shift in viewing failure. Heath proposes that “positive failures”
are not only necessary steps on the path to success, but encourage greater freedom to take risks in pursuit
of one’s life goals.
Celebrating Failure:
• Tells engaging stories of real-life business and personal failure experiences readers relate to.
• Provides steps to apply the chapter “lessons” and change one’s approach to risk-taking.
• Helps eliminate the “fear of failure” that can hold people back in today’s world.
Heath’s insightful stories lay out his own failures and reveal his human side as a son, father, athlete,
and business leader. He gives the reader hope—and a clear path toward success.
Heath has taken the daily battles of managing a business, and put them in stories that will make the reader a
better leader. Heath’s greatest strength as a leader is seeing several moves ahead, and the book conveys a sense
of that strength to the reader. While the target audience is business managers, Heath became hopeful for a broader
audience when his teenage daughter asked if she could read more after being given one chapter. The business lessons
told in Celebrating Failure translate to daily life.
Celebrating Failure is unique in that all of the stories are real events Heath and his associates experienced
managing a successful advertising agency over the past 30 years. It is a quick and interesting read targeted at
those who manage people or those who wish to improve. The book aims to make the readers better managers and give
them greater insights into managing relationships in their jobs and personal lives.
