What If You Mess Up Things?

P is a part of life.

Even great genius makes mistakes.

However, when you mess things up, it's important not to mess up.

The following is a step by step approach: < /p >

< p > 1. deep breaths.

< /p >

< p > you realize that the time you made a big mistake is usually not the best time to take action to correct your mistakes.

The action taken in panic mode is likely to make the problem worse.

< /p >

< p > for example, suppose you are blurting out to your boss and customer A that your company has given the customer B a big discount.

You immediately realize that telling the other person this discount means that the customer A will also ask for a similar discount.

< /p >

It's a bad idea to try to cover up mistakes on the spot. < p >

If you tell customers, "of course, a big discount is not our consistent policy", you will only let the other side pay more attention to this discount.

Similarly, if you leave your meeting with your boss, apologizing to your boss is not a good idea.

< /p >

< p > so take a deep breath and let yourself free yourself from panic. Maybe take a few steps.

Before you react, leave the situation a little bit away.

< /p >

< p > 2. take a comprehensive view of your situation.

< /p >

< p > although your mistakes may seem to be permanently associated with you, it may not be that important for other people.

< /p >

< p > if you don't make the same mistake again and again, the person who knows you is likely to simply attribute this mistake to your bad state today.

This does not mean that you do not need compensation, but the seriousness of the situation may be much better than you think.

< /p >

< p > remember, in front of the grand plan, your huge and embarrassing mistakes are not so striking.

< /p >

< p > 3. to check the reality.

< /p >

< p > now, you have opened up a distance and have a comprehensive perspective, and have witnessed the mistakes you made together to reconsider your mistakes.

By asking questions to find out how much damage you have done, the problem can be this: < /p >

< p > "John, I responded negatively to your thoughts earlier today, and I think I may be too harsh.

I want you to know that I am not against you. I mean it out of kindness. "

< /p >

< p > inspection of reality is best done by e-mail rather than face-to-face because e-mail gives everyone a chance to calm down.

< /p >

< p > 4. apology and rehabilitation.

< /p >

< p > the response you get in the last step of checking the reality can help you figure out what needs to be done to correct this mistake.

For example, if your partner's response is like this, "you mess up the whole thing, you asshole", then you may have to bow down to please the other party.

< /p >

< p > on the other hand, if the other side's response is more like this, "yes, I am angry / angry / surprised, but it is no big deal."

Then your apology can be more perfunctory: < /p >

< p > > "John, I am really sorry, I overreact, I want to apologize to you, and I promise I will never allow myself to do so again."

< /p >

< p > quick summary: when you mess up things...

< /p >

< p > do not immediately try to solve the problem; take some time to think about it.

< /p >

P > remember, no one will care what happened.

< /p >

< p >. Find out how serious your mistake is.

< /p >

P, apologize, but focus on how to change the result.
