▶ Your Answer :
To be a successful
leader, what do we have to do at first? Some people would talk about
leadership, or intellect. However, in my opinion, I would like to highlight the
importance of admitting the mistake to be a leader since accepting the mistake
can be, in other words, another possible chance to analyze and to find the
optimal choice toward success.
Accepting
one's failure is very crucial as people can take some time for introspection
and stop to look at the drawbacks that they committed in the past. This action
should not be neglected and is to be done by the leaders as well. In the 21st
century, a lot of people try to maximize their profits and have been solely
taking the speed into consideration. For the sake of the future of the company
or organization where the leaders are taking care of, for the rest of the
member of the groups, the leaders will have to be responsible about their
mistakes when they made some errors. Imagine if leaders of the company or the
society do not care about the feedback when they execute their projects or make
some policies, the outcome would be obviously terrible. They will probably
repeat what they did in the past. Take a good example of Mitsubishi. In the
1990s, right after the time when the economy of Japan, which prospered in the
1980s, has collapsed, Mitsubishi had faced some serious problems with the trade contracts with
Canada and the United States. This happened because the headquarters of Mitsubishi at this time
did not expect such situation would happen, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
However, in spite of criticism from the mass media, the corporation survived, thanks to the company's
introspection and fast feedback to the situation. After 20 years, nowadays, the
company is one of the financially strong companies in the world and their case
has been researched by many who study business strategy. For this reason, I
believe that facing the mistake is the best way to succeed in a long term.
To sum
up, I believe that being responsible for the committed errors in the past must be revised and accepted
as this kind of action can be a fundamental for the better future.
