To many people get taken out by snowballs. No I’m not talking about the white balls of snow. I’m talking about when one you mess up once and then you allow that one mistake to snowball out of control.
I have seen it happen over and over with the people that have worked for me. I have tried to talk to them and make them understand. Let that one mistake stand on its own stop letting it snowball into more and more mistakes.
Too bad I wasn’t listening to myself. I have had people that I wasn’t a good supervisor to. Instead of asking to sit down with them and get back on the right track I got in my head and just beat myself up for failing them…while continuing to fail them.
If you as a leader have not done what you wanted to do with all the people that work for you then stop what you are doing and change that. Schedule time to sit down with them and start over. Be honest and show them your challenges and how you are continually trying to improve. That is all you can do. Don’t be upset that you haven’t done feedbacks, mentorship, heck you don’t know anything about them. Instead start changing that piece by piece. Being in your head doesn’t help that person. Yea “next time” you will do better. What about this time, you are still in this moment so own it! Change your present and it will change your future.
