How to tell your boss you’ve made a mistake
Hands up if you like looking like a fool in the workplace…anyone? Chances are you don’t – why would you? But at the end of the day we are human and no one is infallible; not even your boss.
But when we make a mistake it can be a very uncomfortable place to be. Will you get the sack? Will you be humiliated in front of your colleagues? Will you lose the trust and respect of your boss?
Whatever the outcome, honesty is the beat policy – and if you fess up to it before someone else weeds it out and makes you look incompetent it could work out in your favour.
