How long has it been since you told your teammates "I don't know"? Often, we think that leadership is always having the answers and always knowing what to do. But, what about those times when you really don't have a clue how to handle something? Recently in a planning meeting I had a complete mental block. I couldn't think creatively and felt like my brain just shut down. My first thoughts were "I can't do this, I have to LEAD, I have to know the answers, I don't want to seem incompetent".
What kind of leader are you if you can't be real with those around you?
The people you work with aren't looking for a leader who has all the right answers and has it all together. They are looking for a leader they can relate to. And imperfect people can relate to imperfect leaders. So, next time you don't know...be brave...just take a deep breath and say it..."I DON'T KNOW".
