It’s okay to make mistakes, as long as you make them in good conscience and you’re doing the best you can at that moment. …I’m not afraid to make a mistake, and I’m not afraid to say afterward, ‘Boy, that was a mistake. Let’s try something else.’ I think that wins people over. Now, I don’t make mistakes purposely to win people over, but when I make one, I admit it. I can also say, ‘You have a better idea than I have. Let’s do your idea.’ I don’t second-guess people. If I hire you to do something, I let you do it. | |
