How do you handle it when someone
calls you on a mistake you made? Perhaps you inadvertently went out of the line
of command on an issue or you did not give credit when it was appropriate in
your paper. How you handle these situations is important to both how others and
how you perceive yourself as a professional. The temptation may be to deny any
wrongdoing, or blame it on other people. My advice is to admit you made a
mistake, you will learn from the incident and you will make sure it does not
happen again. Be an adult, face the consequences, and move on.
Everyone makes
errors; it is the cover-up that causes problems.
Next time I will discuss keeping a sense of humor. Do you
have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post?
Send me an email with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
