Do You Handle Your Mistake with Courage or Do You Have a Fear of Failure?
|
|

"Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts". Nikki Giovanni, American Poet, Writer, and Activist
You’re the boss and you’ve made a mistake—
- You misspoke
- You quoted a statistic incorrectly
- You told someone how to fix a problem, it was the wrong solution, and it cost the company a lot of money
What you do in the next second, how you recover from your error, will set the example for how everyone else in your company will handle their errors.
Handling mistakes
Will you handle it with courage? Or do you have a fear of failure? A fear of failure causes you to—
- Sweep it under the rug and never mention it
- Drag someone else into it so all the blame isn’t on you
- Get angry
Your fear of failure is contagious. If you’re worried about looking like a fool, everyone who works in your company is too. If you brush your mistake
under a rug, that tells everyone that that’s how we handle our mistakes around here. If you blame someone or make excuses, you are modeling how everyone else in the business should handle their lapses and errors.
Handling mistakes actually presents you with a great opportunity to set the example. If you handle it with courage, if you recover with honesty, an apology if necessary, and an emphasis on solution, you’ll contribute to the Culture of Courage we’ve been blogging about.

the power away from the fear of failure." - Roger Engelau
