| There is no one in this world who doesn’t make mistakes… even best of the leaders have made mistakes. A good leader takes the responsibility while a bad leader starts looking for scapegoats on whom the blame can be transferred! Admitting and taking responsibility for a mistake means a willingness to show human vulnerability and transparency – which cultivates a sense of trust, adds to your credibility as a leader and earns respect. “Typically, when leaders realize they’ve made a mistake, others have noticed, too. Owning your mistake also provides an important sense of safety as a leader, and puts more validity behind your word. The mantra is to take the mistake as an opportunity, draw out lessons from that, make corrections and recommence the journey. Owning a real mistake is about owning a clearly bad judgment or decision as something you are capable of as a human, so you can acknowledge and learn from it. It’s about knowing you are big enough to admit an error, not making yourself smaller. Possess positive attitude and a realistic mindset, do not add fuel to fire by exaggerating the mistake and commencing a blame game, take ownership of the mistake, learn from it, do not repeat the mistake and *Go On Going On.* You will reward yourself and your team with fresh direction, great hope and eventually achieve success. Learn to accept the mistakes and correct those for the betterment of yourself and your organization. |
