Leaders Value
Their Mistakes...
"Mistakes are the stepping stones to success."
----Charles E. Popplestone
Leaders
take action.
"A
life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing."
----George Bernard Shaw
Leaders
make mistakes.
"The
greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making one."
----Elbert Hubbard
Leaders
admit their mistakes.
"You
may make mistakes, but you are not a failure until you start blaming
someone else."
----Anonymous
Leaders
learn lessons from each one of their mistakes.
"The
person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy,
inevitable part of the process of
getting to the top."
----Dr. Joyce Brothers
A
LEADER'S REALITY CHECK:
How
decisive are you?
Do you fear making a mistake? Does it slow down progress?
Do you value your mistakes as learning experiences?
FOOD
FOR THOUGHT:
Very
few decisions in this life can't be reversed.
If you make a mistake, you can change it.
More people are fired for covering up mistakes than for
making them...!
People admire the character of people who admit their mistakes.
"He
who never made a mistake never made a discovery."
----Samuel Smiles
SOOOO...
WHAT CAN YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Be
decisive. (You can always "re-decide!)
View each mistake as a learning experience.
Avoid making the same mistake twice.
Learn from the mistakes of others, too.
Continually ask yourself, "What could have been done differently?"
"People
who make no mistakes lack boldness and the sprit of adventure. They
are the brakes on the wheels of progress."
----Dale Turner

unique things have you learned from making a mistake?

leadership challenge is getting to you? What part of being a leader
do you struggle with most? "The Leadership Light" will
answer one subscriber’s question in each issue, so send your

And,
from our last issue on "Taking the First Step," one reader
who was starting her own business proudly shared her first step,
"Buying the 25.00 used computer table as opposed to the new
345.00 designer computer table for my new business!" Very prudent,
great first step!
