Culture of handling failure
There is an article about dealing with mistakes available in the "Lean Principle" LinkedIn group that you definitely need to check out.
On the one hand, there is a chart with possible reactions to mistakes that makes you think - do I acknowledge a mistake and try to learn from it or do I look for someone to blame? On the other hand, the article describes the importance of a good error culture. And how incredibly difficult it is to establish such a culture.
I think our children should learn how to deal with mistakes well at school - or even better at daycare. They should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to improve. They should understand errors as a necessity in the process and learn to use them. And not, as is currently the case, being punished with bad grades for mistakes.
