## Source excerpt

Antifragile Systems and Teams Author: Dave Zwieback This is a short read, but it does a solid job of capturing an important idea: that the healthiest systems and teams aren't just resistant to change, they actually get stronger through it. Zwieback contrasts fragile organizations - those that try to lock things down and prevent every possible failure - with antifragile ones, which use volatility, mistakes, and small shocks as opportunities to learn and improve.
