Ray Dalio once mentioned that he was a professional error maker. This is not to say that Ray Dalio has made an excellent mistake, but that he has a very professional attitude towards mistakes: he can predict when mistakes will happen, know the correct way to do them after they happen, how to make the best use of them, and how to treat them as opportunities for improvement.
There is no right or wrong in mistake itself, it just exists as the opposite of right, reminding you that you can do better.
You can't ignore mistakes from time to time. The mistakes you skipped today may be repeated tomorrow. Summarize every mistake, put them in the right position, face them squarely and try to solve them, then your chances of making mistakes will be lower and lower.
To become a professional error, we must first define what is an error.
1) Things didn't go as planned. There must be something wrong. 2) The problem has not really been solved. You can't bring the soup to a boil, but you must take care of it. 3) Everyone disagrees with you. If you are right, how do you know you are right? Can you explain the principle clearly?
The correct attitude towards mistakes is not to make excuses, admit mistakes, find solutions, act quickly to solve problems, and then take responsibility and summarize the answers.
In short, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Making mistakes is better than nothing.
Ray Dalio: "Use a set of procedures to ensure that the problem will be put on the table, and at the same time ensure that the root cause of the problem will be analyzed, so as to achieve continuous improvement. 」
Hiding errors will lead to bigger and more expensive errors.
Ray Dalio's company is an investment company, and any small mistake may cause serious losses to the company. How to deal with employees' mistakes rationally and correctly is particularly important. Therefore, Ray Dalio and his colleagues came up with a method to establish an "error log". Whenever there is a problem (the transaction is not executed, the transaction fee paid is obviously higher than expected, etc.). ), be sure to write in the log, indicating the severity and responsible person.
The important principle of error log is: don't blame things on others, but the person who made the mistake must be responsible.
The Error Log will continue to track the error status, including quickly publishing errors and taking collective remedial actions. With the continuous tracking and resolution of errors, the company's operating mechanism has been continuously improved.
Everyone can see all the mistakes made by the company, keep them in mind and remind themselves not to repeat them.
Personally, everyone should have their own "error log" to establish principles.
