That’s false. In fact it’s absolutely positively false. Few things about leadership will ever be more false. It’s odd then that so many people in leadership positions act as if it were true.
Insecure and inexperienced leaders hate to say “I don’t know.” To avoid admitting to what they see as a weakness, they guess. They make something up or in the worst case, lie.
All because they believe uttering the words “I don’t know” makes them look weak.Authentic Leaders embrace the unknown. They live in ambiguity. They know what they know and perhaps even more importantly, they know what they don’t know. And they are completely comfortable with not having all the answers.
