Ep #180: How to Teach your Teams to Embrace Mistake-Making

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Jeff Wald, seasoned Entrepreneur, Best Selling Author of “The End of Jobs: The Rise of On-Demand Workers and Agile Corporations,” a Keynote Speaker, Angel Investor, Startup Advisor, and board member for multiple companies.On Insight Sunday, Episode 178, Jeff shares his expertise and mindset on the changing nature of the workforce and how leadership can adapt. He talks about the causes and consequences of the “Tech-celeration” during the pandemic, being data-driven, and the end of “jobs” as we know them, plus how companies can be agile and tap into the most highly skilled and high-performing talent.On Story Tuesday, Episode 179, Jeff shares his experiences and lessons about entrepreneurship, failure, and how entrepreneurs tie their identities into their businesses – for better or worse.If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 178 and 179 to learn from a seasoned and successful entrepreneur with his finger on the pulse of the future of work and business. At the end of our conversation, Jeff asked me how he can lead and teach his team to embrace making mistakes, to learn how they are different from failure, and to develop their willingness to plow forward knowing they will make mistakes and that it is okay. So today, I am talking all about how to teach and train your team to embrace making mistakes.This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching.
