The Day You're Wrong In Front Of Everyone

The Day You're Wrong In Front Of Everyone25 Aug12 min

<p>Your team doesn&#39;t need you to be right. They need to know what happens when you&#39;re not.</p><p><br></p><p>Here&#39;s what nobody tells you: when you&#39;re wrong in front of your team, they aren&#39;t deciding whether they still respect you. They&#39;re pricing something — figuring out what it costs around here to tell you you&#39;re wrong. And whatever answer they get in the next ten minutes becomes policy.</p><p><br></p><p>Because the mistake is a coin flip. What you do next is a policy. Your team doesn&#39;t walk out thinking &quot;he was wrong once.&quot; They walk out thinking &quot;this is how it goes here.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode I walk through The Ten Minutes — three moves for the window right after you get caught:</p><p><br></p><p>1. Say It Plain, Say It First — the clean admission, the three add-ons that ruin it, and why you fix it the same size you broke it</p><p>2. Give the Credit Away, By Name — the move almost nobody makes, and why &quot;good catch&quot; is not the same as &quot;I was wrong&quot;</p><p>3. Close It Where They Can See It — an apology closes a moment; a correction changes a system</p><p><br></p><p>Plus how it maps to the LEAD Framework: Listen, Envision, Align, Drive.</p>
