I made a huge mistake this past weekend and found myself scrambling to make amends.

But before making amends, I did what most of us do…tried to shift blame elsewhere. Isn’t it interesting how we expect those around us to immediately take full ownership of their missteps, yet we’re often slow to take the same kind of ownership?

The best leaders I’ve worked with are quick to admit mistakes and humble enough to apologize. When they do this, their team members follow suit, and gradually they create a team culture where people own their shortcomings and others rally around them to fill the gaps and champion growth.

Ready to create that kind of team culture? Watch the video to learn from my recent misstep.
