A mistake was made, what should one do next? The easiest thing for some people is to point fingers at others and take no responsibility for their own actions. While this selfish behavior might help them in that particular instance, long term, it will hurt them, their reputation, integrity and future relationships within the organization.
Be a man or a woman of your word and step up when you make a mistake, don’t blame others. Also, focus on helping those who are in a bind instead of standing over them with a judgmental attitude and condescending approach.
Finally, remember that tables can turn and they often do. Be of service to others and help them when they can’t do anything for you in return.
