The next criteria in our list relates to fails and mistakes on projects. Meaning that you can acknowledge mistakes, learn the lessons without losing motivation. This is an interesting one.
If someone tells me there is a project manager with no fails behind, I would consider this is either a fake, or this person doesn’t have enough experience. What I’m talking about is that making mistakes is natural we are doing mistakes all the time.
Just imagine, you are trying to walk the first time; you are doing your baby steps. Can you imagine the baby who makes the first steps haven’t fallen at all? I doubt. Here is the same. If you are starting off in project management you’re certainly going to have mistakes. It is the same in every career.
That is why it is important not to be afraid of making mistakes. It is okay to make mistakes, it is okay to have fails. However, the key here is to acknowledge those mistakes. You need to understand that you have made a mistake.
Also, to understand what was the reason of this mistake. To learn the lessons and to improve yourself further; and not to make the same mistake again.
