When was the last time you read the Corrections & Clarifications items in a newspaper or magazine?
Most people don’t pay much attention. And what appears is made in the interest of accuracy and, probably, to avoid legal problems.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had a an area of our lives for corrections and clarifications?
In a way we do, if we remember to use it.
Have you ever contacted someone to clear up a miscommunication? Reestablish a relationship? Apologize for something you did?
When you communicate poorly do you do the work of clarifying what you meant? Do you own up to mistakes?
Corrections & Clarifications are important for print publications, but even more important for personal integrity and success.
