Ugh. I feel like I’m living this right now. I worked for the same company for 5 years and by the time I left, I’d forgotten how rough it is just starting out. I feel like at my current job, I just keep messing stuff up. I get it’s part of the learning process, but I feel like my boss is endlessly exasperated with me and thinks I’m an idiot… a few coworkers have mentioned he doesn’t think this, which is the only thing keeping me sane. The best I can really do is make sure to never make the same mistake twice.

Those are all great tips. Owning your mistake is so important – don’t blame others, accept responsibility, learn from it, move on!

My staff are used to working in a culture of fear – mistakes always led to discipline. I’ve tried to get them to understand that honest mistakes are part of being human, and I want them to make decisions, even if they wind up being “wrong” – it helps them grow!

Now if only my management team felt the same way…

I think that even if others are partly to blame, you should think twice about pointing the finger. It’s a tough instinct to fight because when accused of making a mistake your gut reaction is to deny and shift the blame.

I recently was involved a big snafu that resulted from a miscommunication toward me, and while I accepted the responsibility, the wronged party was understanding, and they guessed correctly that it wasn’t all on my shoulders.

As for the name thing… that’s funny. People get my name wrong all. the. time. I don’t care. But there are some people who get in a total snit if you get, say, one letter in their name wrong. Divas.

I HATE HATE HATE making mistakes at work. It is partly because I am a perfectionist and partly because I truly, deep down, want to do a good job. I agree with you- own your mistakes, reflect on them, fix them, and try not to make them again. Thanks for the reminder!
