I think it's important to be wrong and have the humility and confidence to be wrong. Throughout school and, in particular, university I would often try and avoid discussion with teachers/lecturers/seminar groups etc. for fear of being wrong and for whatever judgement would follow that. Part of that was anxiety/impostor syndrome, but also condescending lecturers and teachers. When I got to my first job, I was hugely fortunate to have colleagues that wouldn't judge anyone for their views/opinions, whether right or wrong (technically, obviously they were expected to be respectful). As such I found myself learning and growing so to such a greater extent, and quicker, in those first couple of years of employment. It's something that goes both ways, if you're respectful and positive of colleagues who may be wrong, you'll help them to learn and develop, which in turn will contribute to a better team overall, more collaborative and more competent. I think it's especially important to try and include the quiet ones, again they may be wrong, but as long as you impress that it's fine to be wrong and work with them to improve their knowledge and understanding, that bit of extra effort will go so far.
