Recently, the company is facing a series of reforms, and colleagues from other places can't come back temporarily. In addition to daily document processing, we also need to take into account typesetting design, community operation and finance. In a few days, the workload has doubled and we are caught off guard.
When I was in a hurry to write a summary in the morning, there was less than half an hour left before the delivery time. On the one hand, the boss urged me on WeChat, and on the other hand, the consultation phone about the product kept ringing. I tried to stay awake and calm, and my fingers rapped on the keyboard quickly.
At this time, the advertising company sent the latest version of the publicity design, and I quickly confirmed it. The next day, at the event site, the boss saw the display rack and it turned black. It turned out that at the bottom of the signature, a partner's signature was missed, but the other party didn't care.
I have been unhappy since that activity. A few days later, my boss arranged a new job for me. I didn't reply "received" as brightly as before, but asked him:
"Aren't you worried that I will make another mistake?"
"If my expectation for you is 100, you have already achieved 120. In the recent special period, I thought you would make three mistakes a month. "
Seeing the boss's reply, the big stone in my heart instantly fell to the ground. I could have made three mistakes a month, but indulging in one mistake denied myself and affected my new job.
From the perspective of the whole company, an employee who is usually rigorous and meticulous occasionally makes mistakes, which proves that he is stepping out of the comfort zone of work and taking on more responsibilities.
And I only pay attention to my own "wrong", but I can't see my own "right", which makes my emotions affect my work. Only by letting go of yourself can we stride forward and meet one challenge after another.
As the saying goes, "To err is human?" Pursuing perfection without making mistakes is actually refusing progress and growth.
People who are irresponsible and not serious about their work will not be too nervous after making mistakes, because they are used to making mistakes and have not changed their attitude. Often, people who are extremely demanding of themselves and pursue the ultimate in their work will fall into the fear of making mistakes.
When you see that you are doing well, you also see your limitations. Finding room for improvement from the process of making mistakes is the real meaning of making mistakes. If mistakes often occur at a certain stage, congratulations, you have taken a difficult uphill road.

In 1960s, a young man made an "explosive" mistake.
1963 in may, an experimental factory exploded in Massachusetts, USA, and all the equipment invested by General Electric Company with tens of millions of dollars was reduced to ashes at once. The project leader is
Jack Welch in his twenties.
In the process of investigating the cause of the incident, the company's top management asked him to understand the situation and asked: "Young man, I ask you, what else is not burned?"
What jack thinks is that it's all burned out, and there's nothing left! The company's top management further inspired him: "What do you think is not burning?" When Jack was asked the same question for the third time, he began to think seriously.
"If I am allowed to lead this R&D project again, I will do a series of things to prevent the same thing from happening again."
Charlie Reid, a company executive, said with joy after listening to Jack's "resumption", "We found something that hasn't been burned, and let this young man take the lead in completing this R&D project."
Because of Charlie Reed's tolerance and acceptance, Jack Welch has the opportunity to learn from his mistakes and start over.
When the whole factory explodes, what else can you find that hasn't been burned-experience. When we make mistakes at work, we can also ask ourselves, "Did I really do something wrong? What can you gain in this process? "
Because of the mistake of "explosion", the explosion has been achieved. Through Jack Welch's efforts, General Electric Company became a world business giant, and he himself was also called "the world's first".
CEO ","the greatest American entrepreneur "Jack Welch.
How much advanced mistakes can be made, how much advanced achievements can be achieved. Only with the patience and determination to retreat1000 step can we have the courage and courage to go forward 10000 step. A momentary mistake can't knock down an enterprising heart.
Because mistakes are allowed, more possibilities are happening.
Porter's law in management tells us that always staring at the mistakes of subordinates is the biggest mistake of a leader. Allow leaders who make mistakes to have vision and patterns. They know that the process of seeking truth is not smooth sailing, it takes time and patience, and at the same time, it also bears the risk of failure.

So, how to face the mistakes in work? It is a good method to establish a "problem log".
Ross is a trader in bridgewater Company. On one occasion, he forgot to put the client's money into the transaction. When he was discovered, he had caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. For bridgewater Company in 1990s, the losses were huge.
In this case, the general company boss will deal with employees by firing them and paying compensation. But Ray Dalio, the head of bridgewater and the author of the Principles, did not do so.
The company culture that employees are not allowed to make mistakes can easily "encourage" other employees to hide their mistakes in order to escape punishment. Over time, dishonest genes will be added to the company culture.
Ridario and Ross set up a "problem log", and traders in all companies need to record errors and adverse consequences.
In the future development, "problem log" has become the core competitiveness of Qiaoshui Company. The greatness of Ridario lies in turning an employee's mistake into a learning resource for the whole company. His working principle is: mistakes are allowed, but the same mistakes are not allowed.
Errors can also be resources. Summarizing, reflecting and subliming a mistake will become the wisdom of a group of people, thus preventing others from repeating the same mistakes. It's not terrible to make mistakes, but it's most feared to be faced directly.

After testing tens of thousands of materials that can't be used as filament, Edison said, "I didn't fail 10000 times, I just found 10000 ways that didn't work."
While seeing your mistakes, you should also see your progress. The road to growth is not wasted, and mistakes are just feedback information that leads us to find the right direction.
Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, famously said, "Don't worry that you will often make mistakes. Mistakes are where you can learn. The real question is how do you learn from it? "
One person will gain from reflection, and a group of people will reflect together to avoid taking the same detour and accelerate the growth of the group.
Tagore said earnestly, "If you shut the door on all mistakes, the truth will be shut out." Open your heart, welcome mistakes, welcome truth, and distinguish with wisdom.
Employees who have never made mistakes are either good at hiding or never breaking through, both of which are unpopular with the company. Employees who make the same mistakes repeatedly are also "hot potato". Only those who grow up from mistakes will grow into the pillars of the company.
Making mistakes is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you choose to escape after making a mistake and dare not face it. The smarter a person is, the more he knows how to cherish and appreciate his mistakes, because that's where wisdom rises.
