This Matters with Bill Britt

Certainty isn’t wisdom

Certainty can feel like strength, but wisdom requires humility, restraint and the courage to ask what truth demands next.

Certainty is not the same as truth, and confidence is not the same as wisdom.

In public life, that difference can decide whether power is used with judgment or without it.

In the latest episode of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines the danger of reckless certainty and how it reveals the deeper need for humility, restraint and moral judgment in leadership.

Because the loudest voice is not always the strongest, and the leader who never doubts himself may be the one most likely to lead others over a cliff.
