Refreshing words. While you may be the expert or the leader, you are also limited.
It is acceptable to say ‘I don’t know; when you don’t, but …”I will take some time to reflect and research’ which is even more beneficial to your position as a leader and those who depend on you. What lessons and values do we instill with our children, family, and friends? While you may think it is a detraction, your vulnerability becomes attractive.
What immense lessons do we instill and model for others? Vulnerability, awareness of strengths and limitations, and the need to learn and discover where we fall short.
It may be liberating for yourself as well to admit that you can’t do and know everything all the time.
