Handling mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes. What sets you apart isn't avoiding mistakes entirely; it's how you handle them when they occur.
In this module, we'll explore how to handle workplace mistakes by following these steps:
- Inform (if necessary)
- Apologize
- Suggest steps to make amends
- Suggest steps to prevent recurrence
- If affected parties are angry or frustrated: keep your voice calm, validate their feelings, show you listen
