Weekly Nuggets🥤 *DO IT RIGHT* _To make sure you are always maturing and developing as a leader, here are four reasons leaders should admit when they make mistakes:_ 1. *IT EARNS RESPECT* People don’t expect perfection from their leaders – they just demand their unwavering attention and bold initiative. When leaders are honest about their shortfalls and can learn from their mistakes, they earn respect and along the way create an environment of transparency. Respected leaders take the calculated risks that others won’t, because they fear too much, thereby making the wrong decision and having to face the consequences. But playing it too safe fails to earn respect; what does earn respect is real leadership, not being afraid to change the conversation and challenge the status quo in service, to the betterment of a healthier whole. Competitive advantage springs from the ability to anticipate change and then being courageous enough to act on it before circumstances force your hand – and before the opportunity passes you by.
