Stop beating yourself up, pause for a moment to reflect, and start thinking about how you can gain from the situation.Ī learning opportunity is not the same as an excuse for careless behavior! For example, if you didn't follow a process properly, consider introducing a more robust checklist or a clearer process document. When you've acknowledged your mistake, think about what you could do to prevent it from happening again. But, if you can reframe your mistake as an opportunity to learn, you will motivate yourself to become more knowledgeable and resilient. How you view your mistakes determines the way that you react to them, and what you do next.Ĭhances are, you'll view your error in a purely negative light for as long as any initial shock and discomfort about it persists. If, however, they hear of it from another source, your reputation will suffer and you may not get another opportunity to learn. In the long run, people will remember your courage and integrity long after they've forgotten the original mistake. Saying "sorry" takes courage, but it's far better to come clean than to hide your error or, worse, to blame others for it. Inform those who need to know, apologize, and tell them that you're working on a solution.
So, take a deep breath and admit to yours, and then take ownership of it. You can't learn anything from a mistake until you admit that you've made it. So, when you make a mistake, you can learn from it and fix it, whereas you can only learn from a failure. "Making a mistake" is not the same thing as "failing." A failure is the result of a wrong action, whereas a mistake usually is the wrong action.
