Coaching Through Mistakes

Have you ever made a mistake at work? Yes, me too. All of us make mistakes. How have your mistakes been handled? How should mistakes be addressed in a healthy and flourishing work environment?

Today on Conflict Managed we talk with Gary Carter about the role of managers when things go wrong, the importance of respecting employee privacy and avoiding public shaming when mistakes are made. Gary also reminds us of the wisdom of listening to those you manage, taking their insights and suggestions seriously, the value of showing up to work in a coachable frame of mind, and the power of genuine enthusiasm.

Gary Carter is a Certified Financial Planner with Northwestern Mutual. The people Gary finds he is most impactful with in his business are those who own a business up to 50 employees, and those who have recently experienced job transitions. He has been married to Ashley for 5 years, and they have 2 sons, Noah and Andrew.  They also have a dog who is occasionally refer to as their “actual firstborn” named Samson.
