3 questions typically follow failure –
“What went wrong?”
“Why did it go wrong?”
“What could I have done better?”
Failure serves as a natural call to reflect.
Success needs a debrief too. A successful project requires an hour or more to reflect the following questions –
“What worked really well?”
“How can we apply what worked well to other projects/areas of work?”
”What did I do well? Did I exhibit any strengths during the project?”
“What could I have done better?”
It’s in this reflection that we learn our lessons.
