Everyone screws up. The difference between managers who grow and those who stagnate is whether they record and reflect.

This is a private, no-spin diary of your managerial faceplants.

How to use it

• Write down the failure in plain English, eg:
  • “Ignored Bob until he exploded”
  • “Cancelled three 1:1s in a row”
  • “Slack sarcasm backfired”
• Add the lesson you’d tell someone else in your shoes.
• Forgive yourself enough to actually try again.

Managerial Faceplants

Your grim but useful anthology of mistakes, a record of progress through shame. Don’t curate this to look good. This is for you, not HR.
