RECOVER FROM A MISTAKE

While most people accept that mistake are inevitable, no one likes to make them. The good news is that even large slipups don't have to be carer enders if they are handled well. Next time you make a blunder, follow these three steps to recover gracefully:

- Fess Up: Trying to hide a mistake or down play its importance can be fatal to your career. Be candid an transparent about the mistake, take responsibility for your part in it, and don't be defensive.

- Make necessary changes: Mistakes are important learning opportunities. Explain to your boss and other interested parties what you will do differently going forward.

- Get back out there: Don't let your errors keep you from ever taking risks again. Once the mistake is behind you, focus on the future.
