Knowing

After a couple of days with friends in Australia, interacting with the leaders of a couple of different facilities, I wonder about a few things.

-Too many senior leaders seem to think they know more than they do and get very defensive when they realize they don't know what they don't know.

-Even the leaders who know what they don't know are often afraid to admit this because of the way organizations cultivate leaders behaviors to conform to preexisting patterns.
