Check out all episodes on the My Favorite Mistake main page.
My guest for Episode #76 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Matthew Boos. We were classmates in elementary school back in our hometown of Livonia, Michigan. Now, he is the Director of Strategy for The Industrious and he's the keyboard player for Blizzard of Ozzy, a Black Sabbath Tribute band.
In today's episode, Matt shares his favorite mistake story from a time when he was working for a major telecommunications company. A project was behind schedule (“in the red”) and he and his project co-leader weren't forthcoming about that. Matt says he literally thinks about this ordeal every single day — it's influenced him and he's learned from it. How has this influenced him as a leader? Listen and find out.
