"Making mistakes is okay as long as you are learning from them."
- Anonymous
How many MISTAKES did you make yesterday? How many failures occur in your DAILY executions? If you said none, then I am very excited to know that Jesus Christ has finally been added to my email list!!
For the rest of us, we have to admit it – WE SCREWED UP!
Sure, everyone does. We do often as well. Yet, it is OK. Rarely does anything TRAGIC happen from simple mistakes. Rarely does anyone lose their life SAVINGS in their error. Usually, it is nothing more than an EXCEPTIONAL learning opportunity!!
The question is whether you are taking the time to LEARN.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
LEARNING for mistakes is more about your awareness to grow than it is your intelligence to comprehend.
While a great many INTELLIGENT people have the capacity to learn, grow and lead, it is a few that have the AWARENESS and DESIRE to do so. As leaders, an understanding of failure and shortcoming is critical to creating the environment to allow yourself rights and passages through the errors that you make.
Will you ever be PERFECT? HECK NO! So chill the heck out and start using the mistakes to learn, not to gripe about later. Every better, if you have LEARNED a lesson and can help someone to lessen the pain in HIS OR HER learning – do us all a favor and go share you wisdom!
Now THAT would be leadership…
Cheers,
Zach
