In a workplace culture where the stigma of error and a punitive mindset still dominate, the obsessive pursuit of perfection makes mistakes intolerable, creating anxiety and fear of failure among individuals. For a manager, therefore, the ability to manage their own mistakes and those of their team members is essential to fostering an environment oriented toward continuous improvement, where personal growth and well-being take centre stage.

During the session, participants will explore ways to promote a corporate culture that values the constructive handling of mistakes, addressing the topic from diverse and complementary perspectives. The goal of the meeting is to gain awareness and practical tools first to develop a healthy relationship with one’s own mistakes, and then to enhance managerial skills that foster the growth and resilience of the team.

Specifically, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Listen to the testimony of Manuela Nicolosi, who will share how mistake management is one of the key skills to develop for a successful career as a referee. She will also explain how, in a high-pressure environment like refereeing, mistakes are handled swiftly and without hesitation.
• learn from Lorenzo Bernardi about his approach to error management, shaped by his experiences as both a player and a volleyball coach. Through his journey, he will share practical insights on how a leader can transform mistakes into growth opportunities for the group
• receive psychological advice from Marco Meschini, who will provide concrete tools to create a safe, learning-oriented environment where mistakes become opportunities for personal and corporate development, and where the team feels free to experiment and improve.
