Mistakes!

 Mistakes

Three Categories:

Catastrophic - when an outcome can clearly be linked to a decision.  I.E., driving with your eyes closed and having an accident.


Complex - when an outcome is the result of a combination of factors that on their own wouldn’t usually cause a problem.  I.E., having an accident when it’s raining and you have a headache and traffic is heavy and your cell phone rings and you're running late for an appointment . . . 


Managed - when a mistake is made that doesn’t have consequences that are dire.  I.E., instead of quitting your job and selling all your possessions to write a movie script, taking a series of smaller steps - like joining a writing contest - where failure wouldn’t have terrific consequences.
