236-Acting Stupid
from Clintcast · host Clint Maun
It should be a goal for all of us to strive for continual self-improvement. That being said however, it is okay to not know ALL the answers, especially in a leadership role. As you go about making rounds to get a pulse on your staff, it is often more helpful to actually ‘act stupid’, in the sense that you instead seek the staff members’ input into possible solutions to issues, rather that just degree an answer on your own. This encourages teamwork as well as “solutions closest to the problem” thinking and decreases the perception that you are just another surveyor/auditor/etc spewing oversight rather than empowering others. Check out these ideas!
