It’s impossible not to make occasional mistakes. Errors are inevitable. Everyone makes them. No one — no SG — is perfect.
But miscues will cost your SG wasted time, money, and a lot of frustration.
You want to avoid mistakes whenever possible. So you need to know what to look out for.
Your SG can’t afford to fail. You don’t have time to fail.
Your SG needs to win, get things done, succeed this year. So you have to avoid mistakes at all costs.
Working on something you think is unique, never been done or tried? If you stump Butch Yoda, ASGA will mail you a prize.
Great SG leaders learn from their mistakes. An even better plan? Don’t make them in the first place.
