The courage to take responsibility and tolerate mistakes is to give some deviations and mistakes in the work of entrepreneurs, bold innovators, and active actors, as long as they are diligent and conscientious, do not seek personal gain, do not violate party discipline and state law, and can be corrected in a timely manner, they should be exempted from relevant punishments or dealt with lightly as much as possible. Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, also said: "Public crimes are indispensable, and private crimes are indispensable." That's it. The more work you do, the more mistakes you make, and it's a matter of probability. If you are still taking the road that no one has taken before, then it is reasonable to make some mistakes.
If a team is not allowed to make mistakes, or if there is a small mistake, it will be caught, then it is likely to greatly dampen the enthusiasm and creativity of employees, resulting in negative confrontation among the negligent person; other members of the team are prone to form a "non-action" mentality, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and once this atmosphere is formed, the damage to the organization and the cause will be greater. If mistakes can be allowed, it will undoubtedly form a positive incentive for the officer, mobilize their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity to the greatest extent, help them glow with new vitality, and create greater achievements for the collective and the country. Therefore, sometimes, tolerating mistakes is more patterned, more wise, and more standing than seeking perfection and blame.
To tolerate mistakes, we must first do a good job of creating an atmosphere. In the daily management, it is necessary to vigorously create an environment and atmosphere that encourages exploration and supports innovation, educates and guides all members of the team to take the initiative, forge ahead, and innovate bravely, so that responsibility becomes fashionable, innovation wins respect, and can be, can do, and be promising become the universal pursuit of all employees. It is necessary to create a good environment and space for more people to have the courage to undertake, dare to act, work hard, and dare to try through a variety of ways and carriers.
Tolerate mistakes, of course, but also maintain principles and bottom lines. Fault tolerance should adhere to strict management and love, incentives and constraints, and have a clear orientation, to be tolerant of innovators, for those who are responsible, and for those who do. Not violating the prohibitive provisions of party discipline and state law, performing duties out of public intentions, performing duties in good faith, and actively taking responsibility, etc., should become the unanimous principle for determining exemption from liability. In the final analysis, the foothold of tolerating mistakes must be to start a business, and we must not allow some people to seek personal interests and act arbitrarily in the name of doing work, and we must distinguish between making mistakes and violating laws and disciplines, and we must tolerate the loss of public affairs and the crimes of private interests.
To tolerate mistakes, we must establish rules and regulations. For entrepreneurs, there should be institutional guarantees. It is not just a random treatment, but also a fault-tolerant mechanism, a clear allowable boundary, scale, standard, as well as a series of declaration, acceptance, verification, approval and other procedures, so that the courage to do entrepreneurs unload their burdens, travel lightly, face arduous tasks, development problems, can take a step, throw off their arms, have the courage to go into battle, boldly open up, less worries, and add to them a dare to do good deeds confidence and confidence.
Tolerate mistakes, but also correct mistakes in a timely manner. Fault tolerance is not the ultimate goal, what we need is to correct mistakes, correct mistakes, learn from mistakes, continue to grow, and solve problems better. Error correction is not to pursue responsibility, but to correct and correct mistakes in a timely manner when they have just appeared, so as to avoid allowing mistakes to expand and cause irreparable losses. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between error correction and accountability, which not only reflects the protection of the responsibility of the parties, but also urges them to identify problems, analyze the causes, and find solutions through the summary of lessons and lessons and the scale of tolerance.
For managers, if they can make mistakes in the work of their subordinates, they are not rushing to conclusions and deducting hats, but specific analysis of specific problems, and giving fault tolerance or even exemption for active actions and active remediation, which not only reflects courage and mind, but also requires a spirit of responsibility. In particular, it is indeed necessary to have the courage to defy public opinion, argue on the basis of reason, and give those who make mistakes the opportunity to "make meritorious contributions." It really requires great courage, a standing, and a high level of insight. Such managers are also more likely to be recognized and respected by their teams.
In retrospect, while tolerating the mistakes of others, we should also appropriately allow self-mistakes that are not due to subjective reasons, as long as we can learn and grow from our mistakes, and be able to better solve problems and cope with challenges, then this mistake is not in vain. I sincerely hope that everyone can not be afraid of mistakes, have the courage to try and make mistakes, dare to tolerate mistakes, have the spirit of daring to try, and have the determination to change when they know their mistakes, be down-to-earth, have the courage to take responsibility, take the initiative, and create a new model, new experience and new situation for themselves and the team as soon as possible!
