Why You Should Own Your Mistakes

DAY 28: 90 Days. 90 Sparks.

Everyone makes mistakes. Leaders included.
But good leaders? They own them.

No blaming. No deflecting. No hiding.
Just a clear: “That’s on me.”

Owning your mistakes shows:
– You’re human, not perfect.
– You value learning over ego.
– You put the team above your image.

Owning mistakes doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you real and earns you respect.

So the next time you mess up?
Own it. Learn from it. Move forward.

Today’s Spark:
Mistakes don’t break trust. Hiding them does.
