Mistakes are a natural part of life. But what we do with those mistakes is what defines the type of person we are. Learning from mistakes can be challenging. But if you don’t learn from your mistakes, you’re doomed to repeat them.

Learning from your mistakes is easier said than done. That’s why in this article, we’ve put together our best tips to help you understand why it’s important to learn from your mistakes and how to go about it.

We’ve already mentioned that learning from your mistakes is important so you can stop doing them. But that’s not the only reason why you should learn from your mistakes. Here are three more reasons you should learn from your mistakes:

Learning from your mistakes provides you with an opportunity for growth. It allows you to own up to your mistake, which isn’t always easy. It also allows you to learn how to recognize the steps in the process that led to the mistake as well as learn how to correct those steps.

Learning from your mistakes is important because it can boost the trust your employer has in you. If they know that you’re willing to put in the effort to improve yourself, they’ll be more likely to trust you with important tasks. If you don’t learn from your mistakes, they might stop assigning you tasks altogether because they won’t trust you can get it done correctly.

Learning from your mistakes allows you to stop being afraid of failure. If you never learn from your mistakes, you’ll constantly worry about making the same mistake and failing. But if you identify what went wrong, you can begin to understand what you need to do differently.

This allows you to turn your mistake into a positive experience and increase your confidence in your ability to do a good job. In the end, you stop being afraid of failure because you know that there’s always room for growth and improvement.

This applies to every learning journey. You don’t make progress without making mistakes. The critical thing is to learn from those mistakes as quickly as possible and then correct course.

Also vital to appreciate in changing times, is that leaders of organisations must make mistake making safe. The best way to do this is to make the change agenda clear, and relevant to all people in the organisation.

People need to know where trying new things is wanted and needed, and where mistakes in finding the way will be seen and accepted as part of the learning process.

Einstein said; “anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”.

Changing times demand a different mindset to the conditioning we experienced growing up that changed us from curious young children to adults who feared failure.

Think of any young child in your life in their early years, and you can define their lives as trying, failing and learning. So, if you are looking to do new things in the face of change, you must embrace the inevitability of failure, from which learning and ultimately success evolve.
