It takes courage to admit, I don't know, but we're gonna figure it out.

And there's a little truth that may help about what your team needs.

Your team doesn't need you to be certain.

They need you to be honest, steady, and courageous.

And you intuitively know this because you'd rather follow a humble leader that's not always sure, that's willing to learn, than you would a prideful leader that's confident and often wrong.

You don't have to be certain.

You have to have courage.

Essentially, there are times when you're gonna say to your team, I'm really not sure.

I don't know.

But we're gonna try this.

If it doesn't work, we're gonna figure it out.

And that's not a bad thing.

In fact, if you're not doing that often, you're probably not leading into a place of greatness because greatness isn't a reflection of certainty.

Greatness is often a reflection of faith.

And so wrap it up with the last one that was challenging to learn and super important is this.

is I used to think for years that the worst thing could happen to a leader is that they would fail.

We failed and it's embarrassing.

But I didn't realize the worst thing that can happen is a leader succeeds without accountability.

This is lesson number five, is failure won't ruin you, but success without accountability likely will.

Let me say it again.
