49% of executives surveyed by Booz & Company say their companies have no list of strategic priorities. „Too many companies grab too hastily for what seems like the next answer to growth,“ says Cesare R. Mainardi, coauthor with Paul Leinwand of The Essential Advantage: How to Win with a Capabilities-Driven Strategy.

Eine meiner Standard – Sätze: „Weiß ich (leider) nicht!“  ist eine total kompetente Antwort. Das findet die HBR auch:

Many managers are afraid to utter things like: „I don’t know,“ „Would you help me?“ or „I’m not sure I get it.“ But failing to admit when you make a mistake or lack knowledge makes you less effective. When you pretend to know everything, you miss opportunities to learn. And if you try to hide your ignorance or your errors, you’ll lose peoples‘ trust. They know when you don’t know something or make an error. Fess up when you’re in those situations. Acknowledge your own limitations so others can do the same. And when you need it, ask for help and be open to learning.
