What have you learned from mistakes you've made on a job?


Wow, so many mistakes....so many lessons : )

Just remember: mistakes don't go away just because you ignore them.

It's inevitable - you are human - it's going to happen. What's important is what you do once you've made "the" mistake.

Don't run - don't hide - be accountable. If you aren't making mistakes, you're most likely not doing much. Keep your traction by readily 'fessing up, and then ask for help. Your peers (and leaders) will respect your accountability and the fact that you are teachable.

Now, go for it. Make some mistakes!
