What I DO Know is…

The Power of Honesty and Humility in a Leadership position.

My ears perked up recently when I heard a politician who, during a radio interview, made a statement that included the phrasing, “I don’t profess to be knowledgeable in all areas of… What I DO know is…” I found myself thinking, Wow – he’s honest and smart. Ironic how admitting up front what you don’t know actually increases your credibility when you make a statement about what you do believe. The technique itself is easy. The challenge is – are we secure enough and humble enough to admit we don’t have all the answers.

Today’s chuckle:

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
