title: Leadership and brilliant mistakes.
abstract: Professional development educators work fervently to model best practices and appropriate ways of being successful within health care organizations. However, mistakes are made and happen at every level and are part of organizational life. Innovation requires risk, and risk means that mistakes will happen. The anatomy of the mistake is presented and, when appropriate, celebrated.
