A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes responder al fracaso en la consultoría de RRHH con resiliencia.

Experiencing failure in HR Consultation can be very stressful, however, we must always remain focus and aware of our decisions and its consequences. With that being said, HR professionals should always have self awareness as a trait and acknowledge Failure when experienced. Once we acknowledge a failure or a setback, we have to look at facts and root-causes of such failure. Involving other fellow HR professionals might also be helpful in understanding complex situations and have a second opinion. Resilience is built through self awareness and assessing your areas of improvement, to maintain being resilient, we have to constantly seek new knowledge and benchmarking ourself with the best in the field or the best practices.

Reconheça a falha de maneira aberta e transparente. Evite culpar outras pessoas ou circunstâncias externas. Aceite que falhas são parte do processo de aprendizado e crescimento profissional.

Analyzing failure is a reactive action that should be done with full focus. In HR, we face many critical matters on the daily, however, finding time that you consider a focus time where you close your doors and focus on areas of improvement is a good strategy. We spend our day in HR doing tasks and fulfilling numerous HR services to our client and employees, often, we forget to sit a time for us to improve, this does not have to be a daily practice but surely something we have to do weekly at least. This allows us to zone out, look at things from different perspective, and have time to think out of the box to improve a bit personnally and professionaly, individually and as a team.

Failures are not the end; they are stepping stones to greater achievements. The resilient HR consultant sees every setback as a chance to learn and evolve. When a project doesn’t go as planned, take a step back and reflect on what went wrong. Did you underestimate the time required for a task? Was stakeholder engagement lacking? Each mistake carries a lesson that, once learned, can significantly enhance your consulting skills. A personal example: After a project delay, I realized the importance of setting more realistic timelines. Moving forward, I made it a point to factor in buffer time for unforeseen challenges, leading to more accurate project planning and execution.

Strategies does not solve problems of the past failures; it must prevent them completely from happening. Being in the consultation field, whether in HR or other areas, its is pivotal that we include others in our decision-making process, it starts from gathering data, information and creating knowledge. Setting a strategy that is doable is not that easy as individually we have different skill sets, however, together we may be able to overcome challenges that appears along the way. Moving to HR Consultation, using the data we generate from different areas of the business, we have to brainstorm ideas and transform them to strategies that achieve our goals.

What is it after failure? Sometimes failure creates a fear of failing again, however; we all have to understand that without experiencing failure, success cannot be defined, measured, or even celebrated to some extent. Failure is a valuable learning experience, we must analyse it, set strategies to prevent factors that lead to failure, instill positive attitude and traits, and finally feal the fear and do it anyway.
