The Courage To Be Wrong

Understanding This As A Leader

There are many things that Leaders are called to have and be.

But perhaps one of the things we often do not think about which Leaders are called to have is the Courage to be Wrong.

I know what you may be thinking, Leaders have to have the Courage to be Wrong?

Our natural inclination is to think that Leaders are supposed to Guide us to What is Right and Better.

This is True in many ways, but part of what is required to get to Right and Better is the Courage to be Wrong.

Why is this?

Well, there are a few Reasons.

The first is that you can Never be Right “All” the Time.

On the Journey to whatever is Right and Better, you will Inevitably Encounter Moments of Being Wrong.

Likely Many Moments.

As a Leader, you must be willing to move through those Moments if you ever are going to have a Chance of getting to the Goal.

It is easy to Go Down a Path being Ignorant of the Truth.

But can you Still Go Down that Path “Knowing” the Truth that You Will Be Wrong at Times?
