When you make mistakes, make a point of teaching others what you've learned. Doing so builds connection and trust. The best leaders are the great teachers, coaches, right

This is my style of project management, It is all about learning from mistakes and telling the stories to my teams. I think you can tell that from my usual answers, it is always backed up with actual experience example.

For members not on the project team: I let others know about my mistakes. I let them know about the context and the consequences.

I relate it to an action they are about to take.

But I do this only if I am asked. Unsolicited advice is notoriously ineffective and is not going to change the behaviour or decisions of the other person.

For project team members: I use a socratic approach to allow them to realise the consequences themselves.
