Leadership 101 for Small Business Owners: Don't Throw Employees Under the Bus

As a business owner you are the leader of your team. You are ultimately responsible for what they do, or in some instances fail to do. Your team is more than likely comprised of real people, humans and not machines. Mistakes will happen from time to time; no one is perfect. Mistakes are embarrassing, humbling, yet they are opportunities that present themselves for learning, and growing to occur. If you take the time to analyze what happened or did not happen to cause one of those opportunities to present themselves; you can then design a strategy to ensure it does not happen again. No matter what you as the leader, and business owner, must take full responsibility for what took place. You do not throw your employees under the bus to make yourself look better or seem as though you are without blame.
