Mistakes Will Happen: Why You Should Embrace Human Error (And How to Minimize It)

from 7-Figure Educator · host Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas

In this segment, we tackle the sometimes unrealistic expectations for team performance and the inevitability of human error. As a CEO, it's crucial to acknowledge that mistakes will happen, but they can be minimized through effective systems and processes. I share my perspective on why a zero margin of error is unrealistic and emphasize the importance of transparent conversations about mistakes. We delve into how proper onboarding and well-defined Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can significantly reduce errors, ensuring that once a mistake is identified, it's not repeated. Tune in to learn how to build a resilient team that grows stronger through clear expectations and structured support.

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know. Wisdom is PROVED Gems with Miles and Julian Julian Shapiro-Barnum and Miles Gems with Miles and Julian is an irresistibly charming, insightful, and delightful podcast that pairs the brilliant, always-surprising 7-year-old Miles with Julian Shapiro-Barnum, the comedian and creator of the hit show Recess Therapy and Celebrity Substitute. Miles leads in-depth conversations inspired by all the sweet and wacky questions his 7-year-old brain conjures up. Each guest adds a heartfelt “gem” to Miles’ time capsule that he will open when he turns 18.
