I think people, generally, don’t like to admit mistakes. You might disagree with my generalisation, so rather I’ll say some people don’t like to admit mistakes. And the larger the mistake, the less comfortable they are about admitting them.
This applies to organizations, too. Of course, the larger the organisation, the easier it is to cover up the mistake. At least for a while. That is due, in part, to resources available to deploy in covering up. 8min59
