How do you react when you can’t get through a project report or when you can’t solve that probability question? Wallow in self-pity? A failure is when you don’t learn anything from the mistake.
In consulting, you’ll be working with a lot of data and facts, and you’ll need to make many decisions. Not all will be the right ones. Becoming a great consultant means that sometimes you make an error of judgment, and that’s okay. If you screw up, don’t beat yourself on it and don’t try to fix the mistake yourself. Seek out experienced resources, such as your mentor or your boss, to understand where you went wrong and how you can fix it. Harvard Business Review
