Action points

  • When something goes wrong, set up an open debrief. It should be clear that there is no rank, there will be no records, and there will be no recriminations.
  • Start by admitting your own deficiencies to get a clear and frank discussion.
  • But at the same time, don’t forget – you cannot make the same mistake twice.
