Relationships at Work - a trust-driven leadership podcast Confidence Gap: Why Leaders Must Embrace What They Don’t Know w/ Bill Lennan
Confidence in leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing when you don’t.
In this episode of Relationships at Work, Bill Lennan, leadership consultant and founder of 40 Percent Better, breaks down what true leadership confidence looks like, how mental models shape our ability to lead, and why vulnerability is a trust-builder, not a weakness. We also discuss how confident leaders protect their teams, why saying “I don’t know” can actually build credibility, and the small habits that create lasting confidence.
