Nobody follows the person who’s always right. They follow the one who admits when they weren’t.

Being right all the time is a strange thing to follow, because it leaves nobody any room and it is obviously not true. Admitting a wrong call does the opposite of what people fear, since it makes everything else you say more believable once your assessments are known to be honest rather than defended. Certainty is cheap and correction is rare.

Say out loud that you got one thing wrong this week, without softening it into almost. Do not follow it with an excuse. Then notice how much more weight your next opinion carries.
