The power of "I don't know" - leading in a world of imperfect answers

15 Nov 2024

This presentation challenges the traditional view of leadership as requiring immediate and confident answers. It argues that the pressure to always have an answer can undermine true leadership.

In this presentation we will look at the following key factors:

  • We associate quick answers with competence - how can we shift leadership from quick answers to thoughtful solutions
  • Effective leaders set vision and inspire others, not provide all the answers
  • 'Fear of being wrong' can prevent true leadership - how can vulnerability fuel growth

The presentation encourages leaders to embrace uncertainty and leverage the power of "I don't know."
