Leadership Skills Worksheet: Learning from Mistakes
Leader's tip (What can we learn?): Learning from it: asking what went wrong, trying a new method, noting the lesson, saying sorry and fixing, practising the weak part. Giving up: quitting the club, tearing up the work, never trying again, blaming bad luck, hiding the result. Positive attitude = seeing ways forward. Negative = “This team is hopeless.” After a loss, a captain says “Proud of our effort,” then plans what to improve.
