Admit when your wrong

Looking for entertainment? Forget Angry Birds and try Angry Boss starring... Me! That’s right, at the office yesterday I was definitely That Guy™️ 😡

It was a spectacular, miserable leadership failure on my part. I honestly and mistakenly thought at 40 years old I was no longer capable of messing up so badly.
This was a classic case of important things needing to be said, and me as the leader saying them BADLY. I handled the situation in an aggressive instead of a constructive way.
The one good thing is I realized the folly of my ways before the meeting was even over. I suppose that’s something. I’ve already started apologizing to team members one by one.
Young leaders out there take note! This is crucial. For your own leadership certainly, but also look out for whether your leaders are able to admit they were wrong and apologize.
So... some Gilmore Girls binge watching with my wife and daughters (guys don’t judge me), a good night’s sleep and a strong cup of coffee later, let’s have another go today.
Failing forward.
Always learning.
Stay humble.
