10 advices for leaders to solve mistakes

No one is saved from making a mistake, much less business owners. Sometimes we tend to commit some and not give them the proper treatment without mentioning that we leave them aside, without learning from them. We ignore them despite calling ourselves leaders.

Admitting an error is shameful but we must do it, solve it and prevent it. That is why we bring you 10 tips to achieve it and be good leaders.

1. Keep good communication

While some entrepreneurs follow the philosophy of "Do not come with problems but with solutions", the ideal is to have a team that does not fear to talk to you honestly instead of fearfully. Communication is important both to solve and to prevent.

2. Be transparent

When an error occurs, the ideal is to resolve it as soon as possible and share information with employees. In this way, they will help prevent this error from happening again.

3. Admit your error

You must be the first to admit that you were wrong. While it may be uncomfortable for you, this will make your employees more confident in your person.

4. Do not minimize the damage or seriousness

Just as you may be able to confess your mistake, you must also be able to confess your error as to the seriousness of the matter. This could cause problems for your employees and your business.

5. Take charge of the problem even if you are not the culprit

We are the first people in charge of our business so to do this kind of thing should be something immediate. This shows your humility, strength and authority as a leader, as long as we work to find an adequate solution.

6. Offers solutions

Because it's no use having problems there and not finding a way to solve them. Even if there is a cause of it, you must also offer possible solutions. Perhaps some is the ideal, or the combination of some.

7. Feedback

Always ask your team for advice when you make a mistake. In this way you will have at your disposal a range of possibilities, besides you should not solve everything by yourself.

8. Learn from your mistakes

It is necessary to learn from what happened. In this way, you will obtain a valuable experience that will be useful in the future as well as you can more effectively prevent this type of inconvenience.

9. Place security guards

Not specifically those that protect a place, but those that would protect your company from something similar happening again. Teach your team how to act in case of such a mistake. This way, they can prevent it when you're not there or do not see it.

10. Move on

Once you have admitted the error or take care of it, solve it and do everything possible to prevent it, it is time to continue with business. Take some distance from the problem with some other activity. In this way, you will be able to see it from a new perspective.
