Owning up to a mistake at work is important, but just saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t change anything. Apologizing without showing how you’ll fix it is like leaving the job half-done. And in leadership, half-done doesn’t cut it.

If you’re not pairing your “I’m sorry” with “here’s how I’ll improve,” then you’re missing out on a chance to grow.

If all you do is say sorry, you risk becoming that person who never seems to actually change or grow.

True leadership is about taking that next step: explaining what you learned from your mistake and laying out a plan to do better.

It’s a simple shift, but it makes all the difference in building trust, showing initiative, and growing your career.
