The ability to embrace uncertainty is hard to learn, but one that we all should strive for. One that should be praised and lauded.
A politician, leader or CEO making a bad decision on a wrong premis, and publicly acknowledges the mistake (and learns from it), is now often end-of-career. This is toxic. Because such mistakes are a fact of life and the best teacher.
