The words “I don’t know” are ego-bruising 
for many people. No one likes to admit that 
their knowledge is not all-encompassing.

But those three words actually turn good 
leaders into great ones. Hello, I’m Mac Hammond,

Daniel Tardy noted, “It’s a myth that your 
team won’t follow a leader who doesn’t know 
what to do.” Appropriate transparency and 
self-disclosure,

00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:38,700
even in times of uncertainty, is wise and 
creates a sense of vulnerability that is 
necessary for your followers to see.

00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,600
So don’t act like you know when you don’t. 
Take the pressure off yourself to be perfect. 
As Ken Coleman stated,

“When a leader says, ‘I don’t know,’ collectively 
you figure it out.” Humility allows teamwork 
to become a reality.
