Good leaders are right a lot
"Being right a lot" has nothing to do with intelligence, it's a skill that requires discipline, humility, & comfortability with looking like an idiot.
How:
- Listen a lot. Most of being right a lot is about gathering as much data as possible. Good leaders listen. They develop the ability to ask good questions and to challenge bias. They seek out people with different perspectives.
- People may say you're a fool/don't know what you're doing. To be great, you must get rid of any internal need for people to think you're smart.
- You must seek out info that challenge your most deeply held beliefs.
