A powerful position cannot rescue weak judgment forever.

Position buys time, not correctness. A powerful role can absorb a run of poor decisions and delay the consequences, which makes the judgment look better than it is and removes the feedback that would improve it. Eventually the accumulated errors exceed what the position can cover.

Seek out the feedback your role suppresses. Ask people who have no stake in pleasing you. The protection that comes with authority is exactly what makes deliberate correction necessary.
