We all want to be right, but of course we are sometimes wrong. The advice from Dale Carnegie almost a century ago is as good today as it's ever been.
Dale Carnegie said almost 100 years ago in How To Win Friends and Influence People, “When you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.”
Four truths:
- My truth
- Your truth
- Our shared truth
- The actual truth
Three benefits you get from admitting you are wrong:
- You advance immediate progress on organizational goals
- You drive future innovation and creativity
- You inspire people to move forward
The best marriages are not without conflict. The best teams and leaders and not without error.
