Learning from mistakes
Learning from mistakes
Sally: I'm really sorry about the mistakes in yesterday's report.
John: It's okay, Sally. Can you tell me what went wrong?
Sally: I didn’t get the full information from the other teams in time.
John: Oh, so that made it hard for you to finish the report correctly?
Sally: Yes, exactly. I didn’t have enough data, so I guessed in some parts.
John: I understand. And were you in a hurry to finish it?
Sally: Yes, I was trying to meet the deadline, so I rushed.
John: That happens sometimes. Rushing can lead to mistakes.
Sally: Also, I misunderstood part of the instructions from the manager.
John: I see. So, some of the data was used in the wrong way?
Sally: Yes, I got confused and used the wrong numbers.
John: Thanks for explaining. It’s important to talk about what went wrong.
Sally: I agree. I’ve already started checking how to fix it.
John: That’s good. Mistakes can teach us a lot.
Sally: I’ll try to ask more questions next time and not guess.
John: That’s a great idea. Always check if you're unsure.
Sally: And I’ll make sure to double-check everything before I submit.
John: Yes, that will help avoid problems.
Sally: Thanks for being understanding, John.
John: Of course. We’re all learning, Sally.
