What to Do When You Make a Mistake

"I made a mistake"

4 little words can make the largest impact.

So why don’t more leaders (or people in general) say these words? Simply put - Fear.

Fear of:

Looking bad
Rejection
Criticism
Repercussions
Accountability
Failure
That they can’t do this

In all reality - the opposite is true. It shows:

Respect
Humility
Vulnerability,
Responsibility
You’re just like the rest of us! Perfectly imperfect!

It also creates relationships with your team, peers, leaders, friends, family and everyone around you.

Practice being the one to admit to making the mistake, how you learned from it and what you’ll be doing different moving forward.

Your team will follow your lead.
