Leaders face the facts

And the facts are that failure and mistakes will happen. The leader knows something is not going to go right, sooner or later. Significant mistakes will happen and things fail, whether it is a new product launch, a financial deal, an invention, or a company. What happens with a leader when these hit is facing them head on. Admitting mistakes, taking responsibility, being humble in the face of failure and not placing blame are responsibilities leaders take to face the facts. Once these actions are taken, corrections are made and they move on.
