Learn from Mistakes

Mistakes are inevitable in an organization. The lack of mistakes can indicate a static situation, while mistakes can offer an opportunity for learning.

Anger will not repair a mistake. A calm manner and insistence that the mistake be corrected promptly is more productive.

Differentiating between good and bad mistakes is important. AII mistakes offer a learning situation even if it is only an opportunity to handle an error.
