We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success. Arianna Huffington Everyone makes mistakes; no one is perfect, but how you handle the aftermath of that mistake is the key. Great leaders ensure that poor choices don't compound their mistakes. They also make sure they learn from their mistakes and develop actions to handle the situation differently in the future. According to Albert Einstein, a person who never made mistakes never tried anything new.

Everyone makes mistakes. It's how we handle them that matters, and how we move forward. When you mess up, fess up, and clean up.

Truth!
I have been in this situation before. I look back at the choices I made, feel bad about them but never dwell in them. I understand that dwelling in the past makes you stagnant. It limits your growth and doesn't help you grow in any way. Not the best way to live in my books. It's okay to feel bad if you have made a bad decision before. The truth is, it has helped you grow into 'a New YOU". Focus on that and be the best you can be. Cheers.
Own them and learn from things that didn’t work the way you would like them to have.
Love it! So true.
As leaders, we all make mistakes. It’s how we get up and learn from those mistakes that matter. I do not let the mistakes I have made, whether personally or In leadership define me. I carry them along the journey to serve as gentle reminders of the path I need to take to grow. If we do not trip over our own feet, we do not grow and learn. To that end, embrace the stumbles you take. You may be embarrassed, angry, or sad when it happens. In the end, if you humble yourself to the learning opportunity, you will grow from it.
Sadly very few leaders accept that some decisions were bad decisions. It takes great amount of humility and courage to accept and quickly do a course correction. Something that is rarely observed.
