Leaders step up and accept responsibility. It’s not blame its responsibility. Take ownership and acknowledge where an action rests on your shoulders. We all drop the ball sometimes, and the leadership team needs to build an environment where it’s okay.
Acknowledging and learning from mistakes allows you to lead by example, and encourages your team to see mistakes not as the end of the line, but as the beginning of growth. It can be easy to point the finger at suppliers, underlings, partners, and managers that just can't seem to get things right. But what if you took responsibility for your actions and the part you played?
Turn a mistake into an opportunity to learn from the mistake instead of pointing fingers.
