But you might also be an unemployed human if you don't immediately deploy three tactics to help you survive a screw up.

The minute you start playing the blame game, you look small.

Even if you aren't the only author of the mistake, and you probably aren't, you still have to take responsibility with your boss, colleagues and subordinates.

This is how we demonstrate that we're grown ups.

People need to see those things to give you what you need to move on.

An executive I know didn't get a promotion, so he walked into his boss's office, shut the door and asked for an autopsy.

You have to ask people: "Where did I go wrong?"

Done right, this process will definitely take you out of your comfort zone.

But it's also going to show your organization that you have the guts and integrity to grow in ways that ensure your error will never happen again.

Finally, you've got to rebrand yourself quickly with a win.

Truth: you've got a scarlet L on your shoulder. Loser.

And if you want it off fast, no one will do that for you.

A project, an initiative, an assignment, something with good optics that you can nail.

But one mistake isn't the end of the game for you unless you let it be.

There are three ways back to the winner's circle.
