People need second chances. Leaders need to understand these fundamental concepts when guiding a team. Your people will screw up. It’s not a question of if, but when.
Once they do, the way you handle the mess up just may be the biggest challenge you face as a leader. Condemnation and ridicule won’t get you very far. Instead, consider the graceful ways you can help someone save face and redeem their reputation.
In this episode, my guest, Dr. Joseph Bucci, helps us understand the dynamics of second chances.
