236: Can I Recover From A Big Mistake

About this episode

The episode explores how to handle mistakes in the workplace while balancing accountability and our humanity.

Not a single one of us hasn't made a mistake in the workplace. We've said the wrong thing to the wrong person. We've delayed something inadvertently, and it had big consequences for our team. Knowing these mistakes won't be our last, we thought it would be a good idea to explore how we can handle the tension between acknowledging our humanity and the likelihood that each one of us will make mistakes of consequence in our careers and lives and the need to be accountable.
