The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.
Simon SinekWork hard to seem infallible and others will work to find our flaws. Admit our shortcomings and others will work to help us be infallible.
