How to Help Subordinates Learn From Their Mistakes (Cantonese)

*Cantonese version: Speak Like a Leader*
怎樣鼓勵下屬從失誤中學習？

------------------------------------------------
Something undesirable happened on a project and you had forewarned your colleagues not to make this mistake. Yet they did. You blurted out, “I told you so!”

News flash: Everyone hates hearing “I told you so!”

From the receiving end it sounds like you are seeking credit for your intellectual foresight.

If you are genuinely interested in the improvement of your colleagues, understand that this is in fact a golden moment of learning: invite reflection and guide your colleagues to exercise critical thinking of the situation so the learning could be internalized and retained.

How you communicate matters, it could turn a mistake into learning, or turn a loyal colleague against you.

Have a productive and rewarding week ahead!
