Owning Your Losses

Owning your losses gives your team freedom to own theirs. Trust goes up, the environment becomes safer, creativity is sparked, and people can put the fear of failure aside and focus on doing good work.

Attempting to hide your losses teaches your team that they should hide theirs. Trust goes down, the environment quickly becomes toxic, creativity is choked, and the fear of failure pushes people to become more concerned with looking good than actually being good.
