Is FEAR getting in your way of doing this?
As people move up the ladder and into executive roles, they stop saying this one thing.
“I made a mistake”
Why?
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! Human. Perfectly imperfect!
It creates relationships with your team, peers, leaders, friends, family and everyone around you.
AND it gives others an opportunity to step up and provide support.
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.
