Every fashion buyer makes wrong calls. The question is not whether it happens but instead what you do when it does. In this episode, Elisabeth Mac Hale talks about getting a buying decision wrong and how you can learn from the ability to identify a mistake early, act on it without delay, and take something genuinely useful from it.

 

In this episode:

• Why getting it wrong is inevitable in buying -- and what separates buyers who recover well from those who do not

• The commercial cost of protecting a wrong decision instead of correcting it

•  How you talk about a bad call in a team environment, and why it is more observed than most buyers realise

•  Why learning from a wrong call is a skill that has to be practised, not something that just happens
