008 - Quite often we think about using coupon cards (you know - the fundraising kind you buy from kids in your neighborhood) as the only time you ever redeem something. Redemption is purchasing back… getting value back for a price paid.
We all make mistakes and have misunderstandings, especially at work. Instead of trying to make fewer mistakes, we have an opportunity to seek redemption. Seeking redemption in failures leads to growth and change. People want to grow whether they realize it or not.
Moments have value for the present and the future. Investing in smaller problems regarding people has a big future payoff. Leaders and owners of small businesses are wise to invest in people to help them redeem mistakes and shortcomings.
Of course, invest wisely… determine the threshold of what’s an acceptable risk and seek professional HR counsel for such things.
The next episode will be focused on how to leverage opportunities for redemption. Until this... here's how to identify those opportunities at work today:
- Observe employees as the main character of their movie.
- Observe how they choose to proceed once they discover a mistake, mishap, or misunderstanding.
- Consider which role you’ll choose in their movie…guide, villain, or extra.
- Tune in to the next episode for details on how to proceed if you choose to play a supporting actor role.
