How to get it wrong the right way
Falling flat on your face… Not exactly something most folks wake up excited to do. But, it’s a reality of progress.
Over the years I’ve learned there are ways to fall over and get back up effectively.
I recently referenced this on LinkedIn.
And I gotta admit, I see this — a willingness to be truly open and vulnerable — as one of the key qualities of effective and meaningful work in the world we live in today.
Here’s a simple way to start:
Step 1: Define something you are struggling to understand or act on
Step 2: Publicly (or semi-publicly) communicate what you’re trying to achieve, where you think you’re falling short etc.
Step 3: Be explicit. Ask folks to help you.
Step 4: Implement what you learn.
Step 5: Share how you took action with the same folks and via the same channels you originally communicated via.
Step 6: Repeat this process.
If you need help along the way, reach out. I’d ❤️ to chat.
