Recovery from mistakes

Recovery from mistakes

While most people agree that mistakes are inevitable, no one likes to make them. The good news is that even big mistakes aren't career-ending if you can recover from them. The next time you make a blunder, follow these three steps to make things right:
 

Acknowledge it. Trying to cover up a mistake can be disastrous for your career. Be open about the mistake, take responsibility for your part in it, and don't get defensive.
 

Make the necessary changes. Mistakes are important learning opportunities. Explain to your boss and other stakeholders how you will proceed in the future.
 

Go back there. Don't let your mistakes keep you from taking risks again. Once the bug is over, focus on the future.
