We learn from our mistakes. This is generally true.
However, there are common pitfalls managers and leaders should avoid:
- not giving good feedback
- not making time for their team
- being too “hands-off”
- being too friendly
- failing to define goals
- misunderstanding motivation
- hurrying recruitment
- not “walking the walk”, that is, not leading by example
- not delegating effectively
- misunderstanding their role.
