7. Mistakes Happen: Correct Them; Don’t Punish People
Right-Minded teammates do not fear or blame. They correct mistakes because they know that doing so is one of the most sensible and sane ways to learn.

These teamwork Choices are universal, self-evident, and self-validating. With the 9 Choices in your mind, you no longer have to wonder what you should do in any team situation. The answer will always be, “Do No Harm and Work as One.”
Two Options for Applying the 9 Right Choices
There is no single right way to apply the 9 Right Choices. But there are two possible scenarios that lend themselves well to team application.
The first option is to ask all teammates to read this book, Right-Minded Teamwork: 9 Right Choices for Building a Team that Works as One, and complete the survey at the end [it’s also included in this ebook package]. You will then compile teammates’ scores and comments and distribute the overall results to all teammates. As a full team, you will discuss the results and identify which Choices to apply in your team.
The second option is to openly discuss, in a team meeting, the first two of the 9 Right Choices. By the end of the meeting, teammates will have chosen several of their own “right” attitudes and work behaviors that they want to live by going forward. These team-wide “right choices” are captured in team Work Agreements that everyone agrees to follow.
It’s the Dialogue!
No matter which approach you choose, remember it is really about the dialogue. These 9 Choices are undoubtedly important, but they are secondary to your team’s discussion of them. Regardless of your preferred approach, every application should include a healthy, functional, and empowering dialogue that moves your teammates towards acting and behaving as one unified team.
