He read that phrase that in a leadership self-help book but had no idea how to apply it.
The teacher when it's his or her turn to teach the class instead of making the students self-study
Would have been better if the director talked about what they learned from that moment about their approach and what they missed. The teachable moment should be shown, not talked about.
I usually only use that after something went bad and we fixed it. Then I'm like see no worries it's just a learning experience. I would never start it that way lol
Well every mistake should have a takeaway or lesson learned, accepting responsibility also being step 1.
Yikes, that does sound awkward. I’m more of a “let’s do an after-action review” type. What went sideways? What can we learn? How do we do better next time? I try to follow CANI — Constant And Never-ending Improvement. Buzzwords are easy, progress takes work.
So much for insight 🙄
I can top this one for awkuard.
A few years ago - when doing my undergrad degree, they had a week during semester 1 which for everyone else was a "reading week" for us it turned into a couple of days where industry professionals would come in and give little talks about STEM - particularly computing/games.
One such talk had a man come in from (a rather large company who deal with games and tech). His talk literally started out being very pretentious and belittling with this one line that will likely forever haunt him " if you want to be the best programmer, good enough to work for (rather large company who deal with games and tech) then you have to always check your code works. You don't get to work for (rather large company) by not putting the work in. If you sent us an example piece and it didn't work, your CV/application would go straight in the bin.. We only hire the best"... then part way through the belittling he set up a demonstration that was supposed to be a brief bit of programming script which says "hello world" which is the most basic thing people are taught - that was his example for 'we won't entertain you if you send us this'... except his code wouldn't execute - the more he tried the more it failed the more frustrated he became... bare in mind he had been so full of himself because of his title and job so when it failed a few people chuckled which just added to his (not so internal) frustration.
It felt so...ironic. So ofcourse people started to leave and he took that very personally and went on a semi-rant about the people upping and leaving. That was the point I left the room.
Now he could've offered a short break while he composed himself and checked the coding, checked his laptop and the set up...but I feel his ego took abit of a hit that day
Haha, I need to know what went wrong in the code here!
