Allow yourself and those you lead to find opportunities during the times when we fail. It is during these times, that we learn some of the biggest lessons. #leadershiptools

Making mistakes is something that's often reserved for the classroom, but they offer a rich opportunity to grow as a professional once you graduate into professional settings. I've known leaders who critique subordinates for their lack of perfection, and have rarely been willing to take the time to figure out what went wrong in the first place (or how to fix it). Does it get through the conversation quickly? Certainly, but it also destroys team morale faster than anything else I've ever known. While it may be "efficient" to blame someone for a failure, it causes a significant spike in costs over time as employees seek out environments where their desire to learn from failure will be seen for what it is and not just another opportunity to get berated for their imperfections. #organizationalculture #leadership #management #learning

Agreed. And reflection is a key element in the learning process.

Everything is teaching.

Adam Grant’s thoughtful post reminds us that our purpose in reflecting on bad decisions is “not to blame and shame," but “how to improve.” As hard as it is to believe at the time, such an experience is a helpful wake-up call to #discover what we don’t know and what we could do better. Asking questions – not presuming or proposing  answers – helps us embrace that wake-up call.  Questions that help us see assumptions we hold that might be in error.  Questions that help us gain insight into new paths forward for growth and change.

I agree with this!! Failure is an invitation to reflection! Yesterday's mistakes provide the wisdom we need to succeed tomorrow. Each setback is a chance to reflect, learn, and come back stronger. Embrace the journey of growth and continuous improvement. 🌱 #Resilience #LearningJourney #FutureSuccess

Team debriefs are a powerful practice too often under-utilized due to the 'blame game' and lack of preceived time to undertake. Individual reflection is a strong leadership practice. What's the cost of losing insights from experience? #teams #leadership #growthcoach #reflection #learning agileworksolutions.com

In learning cultures, mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth, forgiven as long as there's a willingness to learn and change. In punishment cultures, mistakes are neither forgiven nor forgotten, leading to stagnation and hindering progress. Let's strive to create environments where learning is encouraged and growth is continuous. #Leadership #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement

Learning is a continuous journey, embraced willingly or encountered by necessity. Accepting this reality allows us to open doors to personal and professional growth. Each experience, challenge, and opportunity enriches our knowledge and shapes our future. By embracing lifelong learning, we adapt, evolve, and thrive in an ever-changing world, turning every moment into a chance for improvement.

Mistakes are made by doing. But only by doing and experiencing do we actually learn. Don’t fear making a mistake; fear not giving yourself the opportunity to grow and change from trying. #videoproducer #adagency #mediaproductioncompany #audioproduction #indiegamedev #animationstudio #videopostproduction
