[ I might be wrong ]

Humility is an important factor in career development, and in leadership.  Being able to recognise the complexity of current topics and challenges includes the ability to start a conversation with “I might be wrong”.

But it is a slippery slope, as saying that is also fraught with appearing apologetic and uncertain. 

So, being humble and gracious is important in a leader, but can also backfire and look like inability to lead, or that you’re unskilled or incompetent.  Yikes.

I suppose the “I might be wrong” needs to be stated in the context of strength, confidence, and openness to other information.
