Retired Navy SEAL: Here's what to do if you screw up at work via CNBCMakeIt
If you miss a deadline, upset a client or make any sort of error at work, chances are you can recover.
Your instinct may be to avoid the situation, he adds, but doing so will only put you in a tougher position in the long run:"If you try and hide that mistake from your boss, believe me: When they find out about it, they're going to be infinitely more angry that you didn't just come clean and get that situation resolved."
The worst thing you can do after making a mistake is blame your coworkers or the circumstances. Think about it from the perspective of your boss, says Willink."Which person would you rather have working for you: The person that's blaming everyone else, or the person that's taking ownership of the problem?
Avoidance doesn't just leave a bad impression, either. If you don't address your error,"the solutions to the problems don't come," he says."So, take ownership of the problem. Report that you made a mistake, how you're going to fix the mistake and how you're going to prevent that mistake from happening in the future."
