Bennis $(2009)$ discusses his perspective regarding the need to embrace risk$-$taking and failure in your path to growth and development.

REFLECT:

Think about a moment in your personal or professional law enforcement job where things did not go as planned and that you would describe as a significant $$mistake$$ or $$failure$$ on your part.

DESCRIBE:

Briefly describe your $$mistake$$ or $$failure$.$ You do not have to share all the details, but it should describe your mistake or failure, not someone else$$s$.$

Describe the most valuable lesson learned from this mistake or failure and how does that contribute to who you are $($as a leader$)$ today?
