For the bookworm in me, here are some quotes from my favourite reads!

“Once you start seeing systems—seeing connections between parts—you can begin to see ways to alter the most important systems in your life or organization to reduce unwanted failures and to promote greater innovation, efficiency, safety, or other valued outcomes.”
Amy C. Edmondson, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well
