How do you react when your team misses a deadline?

"If I missed a deadline, I'd ask my team for feedback. I want to know what I could have done better as a leader to ensure we hit our goal next time and it never happens again. When I slip up or make a mistake, I'll inform my superiors of what happened because I'd always want them to hear it from me first. I'd also assure them it would never happen again. Then, I'd ask them to look internally and tell me what they honestly feel they could have done differently. I prefer a collaborative approach to these types of conversations."

"My team is highly efficient, and we rarely miss a deadline. However, we once had a very challenging client who made significant changes throughout the project. These changes and adjustments caused us to miss our deadline. I blamed myself and the client onboarding process I'd used. My new process made sure we dug deeper with each client at the start, which resulted in fewer mid-project changes."
