Seth Godin speaks of the power of 'I don't know'.
For him, 'Not knowing is going to happen. Acknowledging it is a sign of confidence and awareness'.
I've not considered this before - the power of acknowledging that you don't know something.
It happens often for me. I get asked questions all day long - by students, by staff, by fellow Campus Principals, by trustees, by parents. I say it a lot at home.
More often than not, maybe 70 per cent of the time, I do know the answer. And when I don't, I aim to find out.
Mostly, I have no problem saying 'I don't know'. To claim otherwise is stoopid.
