[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 195143, member: 35"] [B] When the ‘wrong’ thing at work is surprisingly right[/B] [url]http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20140109-when-wrong-is-right-at-work[/url] If you’ve ever winced at an errant tweet you just sent or felt a wave of worry about wearing the wrong thing in the office or caught your breath after sending off a too-casual email, you know it can be easy to find yourself paralysed for some time afterward. Unsure about whether you might make the same error again, you carefully monitor your words and actions. But maybe you shouldn’t be so concerned, say several LinkedIn Influencers in their posts this week. Here’s what some of them had to say about abandoning fear of making a mistake, why bad email etiquette can actually be a good thing (in certain circumstances) and how taking a chance at bending the rules can create fresh, new rules in the office. Gary Vaynerchuk, chief executive and co-founder of Vayner Media “I am never scared of doing the wrong thing. I'm never scared of tweeting the wrong thing. I'm never scared of promoting too much,” wrote Vaynerchuk in his post How to Never be Scared of Doing the Wrong Thing. “Why? It's simple: Because I'll apologise if I feel like I was wrong.” “Intent trumps everything” when it comes to actions and words, he wrote. That’s particularly important, he wrote, when you are still examining new ways to present information. “There is more value in my continuing to test and be smart than there would be if I were crippled by the fear of doing the wrong thing,” he wrote, adding that apologising is better than letting fear take hold and doing nothing. “I think it's simple. If you're willing to respect the people who disrespect or criticise you, and engage in an honest, open dialogue with them, you can't lose,” Vaynerchuk wrote. “Especially when you really meant no harm or ill will in your actions.” Kevin Roose, writer at New York Magazine “In most business situations, it’s helpful to abide by the time-tested rules of communication — proper spelling and grammar, courtesy and professionalism,” wrote Roose in his post How Spelling Mistakes and Bad Email Etiquette Can Help You Get Ahead. “But… there’s another approach that can be even better when you’re trying to impress someone.” Roose calls it “strategic sloppiness”.
