6/🧵Here’s a way you can phrase your statement to do the same:

“My understanding about XYZ issue is _____. Tell me what’s wrong, incomplete, or imprecise about my understanding.”

5/🧵Leaderes who are open to being wrong are much more likely to earn the trust of their team. The best leaders actively seek out others that will tell them when they are wrong.

4/🧵Many leaders won't admit they are wrong because they feel it undermines their authority and makes them look weak and undeserving of their role. But it's actually the opposite.

3/🧵But true leadership is a lot more than experience and knowledge. One of the most important traits of a good leader is to be open to being wrong. That, however, is easier said than done.

2/🧵It is true that having hands-on experience and at least some knowledge on said topics help leaders and they should always look to have some basic understanding of what their team does.

1/🧵A common misconception about leadership is that to be a leader, one must be an expert on the topics pertaining to the team he or she leads. That is very far from the truth.
