RESISTANCE OR ACCEPTANCE?
"There’s no such thing as too long when it comes to making the right decision. That’s what purists would say, at least. But over a sustained period now, VAR has proved it cannot be relied upon to consistently reach the right outcome — that being the case, it becomes far harder to accept the trade-off in terms of elements such as delays to the game"
"Of course, the VAR mistake Liverpool suffered was extraordinary. It was certainly not indicative of the day-to-day operation of the technology, with this surely the first example of effectively an administrative mistake chalking off a valid goal. Failure of the goal-line technology in Sheffield United vs Aston Villa is the only partial comparison"
"If anything good is to come out of the mistake in the Spurs game, it will be a head-on confrontation of these issues. Football is scared to have these conversations, with VAR surely now on the cusp of being too deeply ingrained to ever go away, but the Liverpool story is at least dominating the news agenda".

The ongoing controversy surrounding the recent EPL game between Tottenham Hotspurs and Liverpool continues to capture attention. For me, the notable takeaway extends beyond the field and into the realm of the workplace. As professionals, I find it pertinent to explore three key questions:
How do we approach decision-making?
When we find ourselves in error, how do we acknowledge and accept our mistakes?
Have we fostered an environment of vulnerability in our workstyles, ensuring a level of psychological safety?
Striving for excellence is a shared goal, yet the inevitability of occasional failures is part of the journey. The crucial consideration lies in how we perceive and handle failure. Our individual perspectives on failure significantly influence how our teams choose to respond to setbacks.
Initiating open conversations about these aspects is not only acceptable but necessary. I extend my gratitude to those individuals who prompted this realization, highlighting the importance of addressing these perspectives within our professional landscape. #journeytoself #psychologicalsafety #workforce
