I’ve been reading a couple of articles around the ‘achievement of success’ that sit perfectly with our approach to people development and support all the principles of goal setting for success.
Bernard Marr – best selling author, was commentating on the value of ‘making mistakes’ and seeing these as a positive step in the work place and in life rather than placing a negative connotation to them.
In saying this, we’re not advocating the silly, careless mistakes that are an indication of a lack of attention or application. We mean the carefully considered actions that for whatever reason just don’t come off as planned.
In making mistakes they invariably represent the fact that you are truly pushing the boundaries, taking new decisions and actions as you pursue your goals. The key is not to make the same mistake twice and to take the learning from the experience it brings.
The best leaders allow their people the autonomy and freedom to push beyond their comfort zones, and to challenge their thinking with the security that it’s ok to make a few mistakes along the way. This thinking removes the ‘blame culture’ and allows individuals to take responsibility for their actions.
It’s only by truly taking responsibility for oneself being at the ‘cause’ of every action and decision and not looking for the reasons why it was someone else’s fault that you then have the freedom to learn and grow, and to achieve your dreams.
