I actually got a job once because I admitted I didn’t know something in an interview! He set up a test for us with an impossible task because he wanted to see how we would react. The two people who remained calm and admitted they didn’t know how to do it were hired.
Such a great perspective. It feels quite freeing to admit you don’t know. As a woman in a leadership position I have very often felt pressured to know everything about my field - marketing, which is constantly evolving! As you said, we know that one person cannot know everything. It’s a great reflection on those who pretend they do!
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I really like that you wrote about this topic, especially in an era where everyone seems to know and teach everything to everyone online. It will never be a shame to not know something. There's not a person in the world who knows it all.

That’s amazing and such a good demonstration of this!

Can totally imagine that when you’re a woman in leadership the pressure to know all is super high!

Totally agree with you!
Great post. Over the years I’ve learned to trust the people who can say ‘I don’t know’ regularly.
So true, I trust people more when they can be honest about this as well
