Admit a small mistake openly to others

Say 'I got that wrong' without drama when you slip up.

Why it helps

People trust those who can admit errors. It also gives others permission to be human.

How to do it

1. Notice a mistake you made.
2. Say what happened and what you'll do differently.
3. Move on without self-criticism.

Make it easier

Admit a trivial mistake today.

Make it harder

Admit a larger one to a manager or friend.
