It’s ok to sound dumb, and a few other practical ideas on how to lead people — Salmon Labs

Bold leaders aren’t brash and pushy—they are collaborative and empower others. Rather than being blind to risk, they are visionary about possibility. The most effective leaders act with confidence and exhibit humility.

If you are in a leadership position, make sure you have a circle of people who can tell you the truth, and to whom you can speak the truth. Bring others into shared leadership with you, and/or collaborate with other formations so you don’t get too enamored of your singular vision.
