@leadershipmel: How Leaders Clean Up After Themselves When Things Go Sideways Now WHEN things go sideways (and they always do), I have a few rules I like to follow: 1: No blaming anyone else. Don’t spend time scapegoating. It’s a defensive play that leaders don’t need. 2: No beating myself up. Even if you blew it, how does beating yourself up help?. Some people think it’ll make them more rigorous next time, but in actuality, it makes you more hesitant and risk averse. 3: Pragmatically solve the problem. When you don’t spend time on scapegoating, you have more time to lead the solutions and move forward. 4: Manage noise and expectations with stakeholders. You don’t have to freak out and get small. You simply acknowledge either the potential or existing issue, recommend the solve, listen keep moving forward. 5: Figure out what I’ll do differently next time. If the failure has anything to do with my team, I always assume that I contributed to the failure and have something to learn. #leadership #bealeader #leadershipskills #executivecoach #corporatelife #successincorporate #worklife #saugeenshores
