Why it's important to doubt

How often have you asserted something "without a doubt"? But stop and think for a moment; to be truly without a doubt, one of two conditions must be trued:

  • Either, you have absolutely every single fact required, and have eliminated all possibility of challenge, change or error.
  • OR, you have chosen to ignore any possibility of challenge, change or error.
In all but the simplest decisions, the first is highly unlikely, and the second is impossibly arrogant.

A real leader knows that doubt is inevitable, and in fact necessary. It is doubt that will drive a real leader to explore alternatives and counter-arguments, and to be respect them. It is doubt that will impel the real leader to step into other people's shoes and to see things from multiple perspectives. It is self-doubt that guards against hubris, and ensures a life-long quest for personal improvement.

Let our leaders have a little more doubt, please.
