We all make mistakes, but did you know there is a right and wrong way to talk about them at work?
Assuming you have the psychological safety to talk about your mistakes at work...how can you respond to your mistakes in a way that ensures others at work know you are not going to keep making them and actually learn from them. Saying sorry is not enough to instill confidence in your coworkers and ensure you are growing as a leader.

What kind of a leader are you? There are 5 types of vulnerable leaders, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what kind of leader you are helps you determine who you should work with, the types of projects you should work on, and how you deal with challenges and opportunities. In my new book, Leading With Vulnerability, I interviewed over 100 CEOs around the world and surveyed nearly 14,000 employees in partnership with DDI.

1 年Great points, Jacob! ?? I've found that sharing mistakes in a storytelling format can be really powerful. It turns the 'oops' moment into a 'let's not do that again' lesson, making it easier for everyone to digest and learn from it. Plus, who doesn't love a good story?
