Eliminate blame culture on your team
Switch your mindset to “We’re all still learning,” and share your mistakes.
- We all make mistakes from time to time. It’s what makes us human. No good comes from blaming and shaming each other for our imperfect nature.

- If you’re a manager, discuss your own mistakes and the lessons learned from them. Doing so creates a psychological safe space that will encourage others to follow suit.
