Accept the fact that you’re not always right.

Good morning guys, how are you doing today. I trust you're doing great. Let's quickly review yesterday's article.

Self management is a very key attributes you need to have whether you’re a parent, a supervisor or leader, you must be able to manage your emotions if you want to manage others well. And self-management simply means the ability to manage your emotions, particularly in stressful and extreme situations, and maintain a positive energy regardless of the situation or problem. It is our emotions that causes us to react. Self-management first of all helps us to understand what we're feeling and why we're feeling that way and also help to be able to control our reaction or response to the situation because we make better decisions on the situation.

Leaders who lack self-management tend to react wrongly most of the times and have a hard time keeping their reactions under control.

If any leadership situation is making you to feel angry or frustrated, why not stop being the leader and give another person instead of acting wrongly always. If you can’t give another person, just step away from the situation and take a moment to get hold of yourself.

No one likes to be in a bad mood most of the time. I'm sure most people will like to be able to have a high-level of self-awareness and manage their emotions the right way

To have self-management as a leader, you must be emotionally aware. When you're emotionally intelligent, you will able to take the right decisions irrespective of your emotions.

Reactions are responses that are the result of personality or your immediate mood.

An impulsive wrong reaction will most likely lead to pain and grudges among colleagues. A more thoughtful reactions will only come if you know how to manage your emotions.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

We don't like to admit our mistakes because we fear that it is somehow a reflection of our character. If we didn't make any mistakes then we are not always right. It's a slippery slope, especially when you are used to being the 'go-to' person.

In reality, this is the total opposite of how critical thinking works.

At least once in a while, we should be willing to admit our faults and flaws for the sake of growth. Unless we do this then we lack the ability to improve. Acknowledging your mistakes and shortcomings as an individual is actually a sign of strength not weakness.

It is important to give yourself a chance to change. Even though being wrong can be frustrating, it is important to know how to accept it. You cannot move forward without truly accepting the fact that you might not always be right. You are going to find out that accepting your mistakes is actually liberating.

How can we accept this fact?

When I say, "accept the fact", it doesn't mean that you just do it and expect things to get better. Acceptance means that you give yourself time to figure out what went wrong and why did it happen. Being objective about a situation allows you to actually think about it.

Referring to something or someone as always or never doing is an easy way to make a decision. Whether it is something that you are applying to yourself or somebody else. The way we think about things is personal. However, it doesn't mean that we can't think critically about something in order to solve a problem.

There are always two sides to everything and thinking critically involves accepting the opposite without immediately disqualifying it. Accepting the fact that you're not always right means accepting both your strengths and weaknesses.

It's okay to accept a mistake or two, learn from it and move on. Better yet, ask how you can improve on it and do better next time. Accepting the fact that you're not always right will help you think more critically and avoid stereotype thinking. That way, you can come up with a solution that is better for everyone.

Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it.
