Why leaders should share their mistakes openly
No one is a masterpiece, we are all works in progress.
Sharing your mistakes openly can create these advantages:
You have room to make calculated risks and openly learn
By sharing your failings and mistakes the people around you will respect you more. It might seem counter-intuitive but vulnerability breeds trust especially with younger team members.
You get to teach in real-time helping others avoid your mistakes
You create trust within your team that perfection is not the aim
You can move past a mistake faster.
