I think it also applies to our writing. I remember how you described the feeling right before publishing an article. Some posts might be so-so, and some will be great. I feel like it’s similar to doing something and making (potential) mistakes.
Love your point about leaders admitting their own mistakes. It really does set the example for others and helps build trust and openness in an organization.

But the real shift is managing their cost.
If every mistake is expensive, people freeze.
If mistakes are cheap, people adapt.
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s building systems where learning happens faster than failure compounds.
