Ok, so I’m willing to admit it – I’m not perfect. 

Yes, I  am always working to try to become perfect, but so far I have not been  able to even get close to that goal. Most managers would say that they  are in the same boat as me. It’s a bit depressing to set out to try to  accomplish something and then despite using your manager skills you  basically fail at doing it. When this happens, because there is no  manager training for dealing with failure a lot of managers tend to  throw their hands up and say  “oh well”. It turns out that this is not  the right thing to do. 

Instead, we should all be doing what the U.S.  Army does when they have a failure.
