Chapter 4 - Competence
As I reflect I think about this chapter as the opportunity as a leader we must take time to reflect and think about things. This way we are not making rash and quick decisions on issues we have not thoroughly thought out. I have recognized I don't know everything. In fact when I teach courses on the college level I have stated, "I don't know everything, but I do know something." I'm not afraid to admit if I don't understand or if this is the first I have heard of it. I like the approach in the textbook. If you don't know then dive in and find out about it..

I like your perspective on owning up to the fact that you don't know everything, but that you know somethings, and you know how to find out more. It's important that those around us, from students to peers and supervisors, know that while we might not have all the answers, we will work towards finding them.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to admit not knowing something then trying to fake it. When you fake it, it usually comes back to bite you and then you lose all credibility with those who need to trust you most.
