POLL: When you make a mistake, how actively do you admit it and resolve it?

For today's poll, we wanted to touch on the topic of taking responsibility for your mistakes. With every business, there are going to be times when a mistake is need and a resolution needs to be found. Whether it's a mistake you personally made, or someone on your team, it must be recognized and resolved.



Mike Figliuolo, managing director of ThoughtLEADERS had some great insights on finding resolutions:
"There's an old leadership principle that states "seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions." The vast majority of you are adhering to this principle. Whether you go public with your error or not, you're almost all admitting it and seeking resolution. For those of you going public and admitting your mistake, you're also setting a good example for your teams. You're letting them know it's OK to occasionally make a mistake and that the important part is seeking to resolve the error. For those of you staying quiet about (or worse, hiding) your mistakes, I encourage you to step up to the challenge of admitting your errors and working toward resolution with others."
