In corporate life, there's few things more important than being unbelievably good at making mistakes. If you're growing, you're making mistakes. There's barely been a time in my life where I haven't looked back a year ago and cringed at something. Though... maybe that's just a self own for no particular reason.
That said, I'm here as your life coach today to give you the career advice for how to be wrong depending on your career stage.
Junior
Junior staff are great at making mistakes. Ask any senior person and they'll tell you about fantastic mistakes that they used to make when they were junior. It was those mistakes that helped them grow into the senior that they are today. So, take that permission to take down the website - it's a key part of your upcoming promotion!
Senior
At the senior level you need to learn that the only way to make a mistake is to forget to hedge. Hedging is a very advanced way to never be wrong. Find ways to hedge that involve jargon that means it's unclear precisely what you're saying.
Alternatively, now is the time to form alignment, after all you can't be wrong when 15 people agreed with you (don't forget to remove your author label and sit alongside the 15 as peers). 15 people can't fall on one sword, it's simply not long enough!
Staff/Director+
At this level it's important to realise that you didn't actually make a mistake. Your prior decision was perfect at the time and it's simply the world that has changed around you. People will like you pointing this out and it's a vital time to demonstrate renewed confidence in your fresh decision that you've made. Use terms like "prevailing conditions" and make sure to set the next checkpoint for judging this new decision at least 1 year in the future. Look for an internal transfer in the meantime.
Grug - At Any level
Grug says "I was wrong about this. Here's what I learned"
People trust Grug, Grug is clear and by demonstrating not being perfect, other people more happy to own when they not perfect either. It turns out we can all be Grug.
The trick as a leader isn't to stop being wrong, instead have the confidence to stop needing to look right all of the time.
