The Mistakes of Leaders and Accepting Them

On June 17, 1972, due to the invasion of the Democratic National Committee headquarters of the Washington DC Watergate Office, President Richard Nixon resigned as he tried to conceal its intrusion. In Sophocles Antigone, a blind Prophet Tirisias told Thebes' king Kryon. Tiresias told that no one is perfect, but to make people better it is the ability to accept mistakes and forget his pride, Creon did not change.

It is inevitable to make a mistake. Unfortunately, learning from them is not so. We investigated the mistakes made by these great design leaders and what they made from these mistakes. In these stories you learn that making a mistake is inevitable, but there are mechanisms for growth and improvement that make these design leaders wonderful due to mistakes. Without the constant efforts of Dan Allard, this book is unattainable. When interviewing design leaders in North America, Dan was a cameraman of all the equipment and was a loud and common Sherpa. While I was studying and writing this book, I would also like to thank the entire Fresh Tilled Soil team for holding the fortress. I would also like to thank Greg Hoy and Carl Smith of Digital Founders. For some design leaders who interviewed here, encounters between them and other campers are turning points.

A great leader is said to be a fair, reasonable, reliable and sincere leader. These leaders tend to allow their followers to make mistakes, learn from the past, and create their own reality from what they learned. In addition, these great leaders do not have a single focus, their focus is diverse, and they must be consistent with individual team and team members. King T'Challa showed all these qualities. But when his father said, "... it is difficult for a good person to become a king," he said the leader also made a mistake. As a human being, we must make a mistake, but as long as we recognize and adjust, we can not repeat these mistakes. We can learn precious lessons from our mistakes. Therefore, a trustworthy person can become a good leader.

Strong leaders can easily connect with others by proving their human nature. They accept that they are not perfect, they make mistakes (and they admit to committing them!). When a leader imitates credibility, when an employee makes a mistake, they will bear the risk as follows. There are no lonely rangers or high-performance leadership culture in leadership. Good leaders aim to create diverse environments by ways of doing things and observing the world; they remove the fear from the room and run the risks; they make people feel secure and creativity I will show it. Their ideas and advice on key decisions. There is trust, so do not be afraid. It tells the employee "嘿, we are all together" feeling.
