When a decision I made did not pan out - I would be open and admit that I was wrong and come up with solutions to fix the same.
while I was a director of infrastructure at Center card, I saw that if my team owns the deployment of ELk cluster K8s it would be cost effective, what I did not anticipate was that the team prepared to handle such an implementation.. our Elk setup was not able to scale during the load testing phase.This caused a churn as we had to revert back to managed elk as that had more reliability. the lesson I learnt was that I as a leader need to access teams strength and weakness as well before taking any strategic intuitive..

I came with a project Idea to automate KPI metrics generation for quarterly review. I shared this idea with my manager and he asked me to share this project with another team within my group to build a tool based on my requirement. I gave one page requirement to them and left it them to complete it. But project kept of dragging without any significant updates and in the end I had to escalate and take over the project with my team. The lesson I learnt that while delegating this project, I didn't get firm commitment on timeline. Since this project was not a critical to them, they didn't prioritize it causing delays
