I was wrong.

Three simple words. Yet so hard to say. No one wants to admit to having been wrong. Perhaps if we don’t say anything no one will notice? Best to be quick about admitting to a mistake and finding a solution to what you did and what you will do to prevent it from happening again. Be open to the feedback of others and the impact that it had on them. Why? It will show that you are accountable for what you do and you are a real professional for finding ways for preventing future mistakes. We’re all human but admitting it can be hard.
