Admitting To The Mistake

I say it often…

EVERyONE SCREWS UP FROM TIME TO TIME.

Everyone does, but it is how you handle it after screwing up that makes a difference.

Longtime WBBM (Chicago) Reporter Dorothy Tucker made what even she calls a “rookie mistake.”

Tucker is also the President of NABJ, and her screw-up, also cast a light on the organization.

But, what I like is the fact that after screwing up, Tucker admitted to making the mistake and also didn’t try to make an excuse.

She posted this open letter on the NABJ’s website, so all could see.

I’m sure she hated screwing up, and I’m sure she was embarrassed for doing so. But she stepped up, admitted her mistake, and said she was sorry.

Good for her.
