Safety Short - Mistakes

The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast

Taking inspiration from the philosophy of Bruce Lee, Colin reflects upon the importance of forgiveness, especially when it comes to honest mistakes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If someone in our business makes an honest mistake, how do we deal with it? We must ask ourselves how our response affects their outlook.
• By instilling a culture of openness and honesty, we create a work environment where people will be far more open about telling you how things really work.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Mistakes are always forgivable if one has the courage to admit them’

‘Reflect about how you react when mistakes are made'
