Rely on Others to Improve your Judgment

From Management TIPS - BHR

Reversing a decision that isn't working out can be a painful experience. Perhaps the product you launched isn't selling, or an ad campaign that you were behind is falling flat. Whatever the issue, accepting failure and changing direction can feel like a comment on your judgment. In these situations, call on others to help you evaluate and redirect. Ask people with a variety of perspectives — peers, direct reports, customers, family — to give you input on what went wrong and what to do now. The collective wisdom of this crowd can turn a bad situation into a winning one. Reversing a decision shouldn't be a reason for shame, but a badge of honor in that you lived and learned.
