“You make mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you.” –Maxwell Maltz

Do you ever not move forward on something out of fear of making a mistake? Is the thought of dealing with the aftermath of a mistake enough to avoid the situation all together? How does this unavoidable part of leadership drive so much of what we do?

On today’s episode, Faye Davis talks with Carla Sones on making and admitting mistakes. In our leadership, we sometimes want to cover mistakes, but Carla shows us that that never works and truth always comes to the light. We have all seen an insecure person try to blame shift and point fingers, but that leads to more headaches and more mistakes. How do we, as leaders, grow our organizations from a space of admitting and learning from mistakes.

Carla leads us through the 4 ways you become a better leader after owning a mistake. We owe it to our teams to be examples of learning and growing. Tune in to today’s episode to see how!
