Found that on the internet and I was thinking to share it here.

An intern broke a $250K machine, and crestfallently offered his resignation as a show of contrition. The CEO replied: "You just learned a quarter million dollar lesson, there's no way in hell I'm letting you go."

This reveals true leadership: valuing people, transforming errors into growth, and building trust. Real leaders invest in potential, not punish mistakes.


Have a nice day!
 
He never forget about it on our whole life. and leaders are never born, The situation create a leader himself.

But also an employee with integrity which is just as important - many people in that situation would try and blame it on someone else, cover up the mistake or just do everything in their power to avoid taking the blame.
 
Of course, That's why the relationship of management and Employees is very important, There are several stories in past, Very big business empires are follow this to create beautiful contribution in the society as well as their personal growth.

Yes: He learned the lesson through the tough way (not the toughest).

This! An important lesson I learned many years ago is to never blame someone else (or at least to think about 10 times before do that) for my mistakes.

Ofcourse he wanted him to stay, he gotta earn back the $250K he just wasted, there are 2 sides of leadership from a business owner when saying fancy words, never forget that.
It's an win win situation, so all good.
