Highlight from BNET posting
For those times when you get it right and it sucks, remember these lessons:
- Not only can’t you control other people’s actions, but it’s not your job. Good managers and leaders know that.
- If you can feel empathy for everyone involved: those who got it wrong, those who suffered as a result, and for yourself, that’s a leadership quality.
- Learn from the experience because next time, the situation might be reversed, i.e. you might warn someone and be wrong, or somebody may warn you and be right.
- You’re not responsible for the failure of others unless they work for you, in which case you were a good leader by allowing them the opportunity to succeed or fail on their own.
