About the Book

Forget everything you think you know about failure. The most successful people don't avoid failure - they transform it into their greatest competitive edge. Are you tired of feeling like one misstep could expose you-or set you back for good? If you're a high-achieving professional who secretly fears failure, you're not alone. You mask it with polished performance, long hours, and constant overachievement. But underneath? Burnout. Doubt. Stalled momentum. The truth is: success isn't about getting it right every time-it's about how you respond when you don't. In The Failure Advantage, business transformation specialist Matthew Egan delivers a powerful reframe: failure isn't your enemy-it's your edge. Drawing on real-world case studies, cognitive science, and his own setbacks, Matt reveals how our obsession with flawless performance actually stifles the innovation, creativity, and resilience we need to thrive. This book isn't about celebrating mediocrity-it's about reclaiming failure as a catalyst for growth. You'll learn how to: Break free from fear-based thinking that paralyzes your decision-making Turn setbacks into feedback that fuels smarter, faster progress Build momentum through imperfect action rather than endless overthinking Cultivate environments where risk-taking and experimentation thrive Lead with authenticity-and inspire others to do the same From embarrassing product launches to billion-dollar construction blunders, Matt illustrates how elite leaders and organizations don't just bounce back from failure-they use it to leap forward. Whether you're leading a team, building your career, or trying to rediscover your drive, The Failure Advantage gives you the mindset and tools to stop playing defense-and start using failure as your unfair advantage. Because the real risk isn't failing. It's staying stuck.

About the Author :
Matthew Egan is a business transformation and operations specialist with over 20 years of experience leading change at organisations including Microsoft and PwC.

His book, The Failure Advantage, focusses on one of the most important aspects of transformation: mindset.
