Episode 768: The Starbucks Goof Card
#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #selfaware #leadership
When mistakes are made how do you overcome them? Last week I had missed two meetings because I wasn't included in a calendar invite. I'm a big fan of calendars since they keep me focused on what needs to be done. Since I'm new to this environment I thought about how to inform them to send me a calendar invite when notifying me of a meeting time. I was a little upset that people may think it was my fault for being late to the meeting. Then I thought to myself, what if it was my fault? By taking responsibility for my part in the goof allowed me to consider their perspective. I immediately purchased two Starbucks gift cards and sent them to the individuals I was supposed to meet with. I called them the Starbucks Goof Card. My goof was there reward.
It was a valuable lesson that I wanted to share this beautiful Monday morning. Next time things happen that aren't your fault, as yourself, what if it was my fault?
