The culture I grew up in flying for the navy demanded a systematic examination of both positives and mistakes. Every flight is debriefed, every mistake looked at for future improvement...it is not for the thin skinned.

As a business owner working on a new Unmanned Air System (UAS), I insist on a risk-based program approach, including Action Tracker assignments, due dates, sub vendor plans, etc. ad nausea.

The key is to practice what you preach with repeatable, known reviews on a timely basis.

Lastly, everyone in the company knows bad news doesn't smell better with age, and we don't kill the messenger.

In my personal life?

Nah.
