“My document was all red,” a colleague once told me.
They had gotten their first report reviewed from our team lead.
And were visibly not happy with how it had turned out to be.
As the colleague shared his misery, it got me thinking:
I would always make a note of all such comments when I started. Never complained. And each time I would submit a report, I’d make sure I would never repeat one of the previous errors. Along with making sure the work was getting better.
It turns out, you can choose to deal with every big or insignificant situation with a tinge of practicality and lesson for the future.
It makes you think less about what went wrong and more about what you can fix going forward.
I haven’t found a better way to deal with work. And life.
My document was all RED
