Save Time…Learn From Someone Else’s Mistake

Posted by Gretchen Benes on Friday, April 3rd, 2009

It seems to be happening quite a lot these days.  Someone screws up and either places the blame somewhere else, denies accountability or OMG! takes responsibility.

In a recent interview with The Today Show’s Matt Lauer Mark Zuckerberg took complete responsibility for the Facebook “Terms of Condition” mishap.  When Matt Lauer asked him about it he simply said, “Frankly, we made a mistake in the last version and issued some unclear language.”  I think Matt was a little stunned, but I was impressed.  Total accountability at the age of 24, who knew?  I instantly became a fan of Mark Zuckerberg.

The following is a great article about how to take accountability when you mess up via social media…or anywhere for that matter. “Save Some Time Learn From My Mistake”.

Enjoy!!
