When we are the leader or manager, there's pressure to be "the person who knows". If we cannot give confident advice or direction to our teams, we might look weak. Yet leaders who openly acknowledge what they don’t know often create superior outcomes. Much better to "lead like a scientist": This means approaching everything with curiosity, experimentation, collaboration & being comfortable with not knowing.
Three ways to lead like a scientist:
1) Learn in public: openly admit when we don’t know something, share failures & lessons learned, ask questions instead of always providing answers & document our thinking.
2) Unlock social flow: encourage team members to design their own experiments, make space for sharing insights & remove as many artificial barriers as possible.
3) Redefine "success": think beyond performance standards & treat unexpected results as valuable data. When everyone understands that learning is part of success, they take smarter risks, surface problems earlier & develop more interesting solutions to complex challenges:

We're deeply disappointed to receive confirmation that badminton, one of the most popular, inclusive and accessible sports in this country, has not been selected to feature as part of a significantly reduced Commonwealth Games programme in Glasgow 2026.
