If you listen through the lenses of hubris instead of confidence, you will often listen with impaired hearing, and misinterpret facts, findings, judgments, trends and hunches. Hubris is one of the worst blinders. Listening to others with less expertise takes a measure of humility; however, the proof is in the pudding.
Besides level 5 Leaders are classified by exhibiting humility, so definitely worth exercising. We have all received a piece of information from an associate, employee, or customer that became the intellectual bridge to the answer.

What is correct today is wrong tomorrow
Truth out of order is not a confirmation bias; it is valuable information from an unlikely source and often out of order. Family, friends, associates, think tanks are authors of truth out of order.
Do not forget, what is correct today is wrong tomorrow. Markets, cultures, and assumptions change. Data is misinterpreted and patterns hide. What about the future set? Often in the form of bits and bytes, rarely in fully developed form, truth hides in the mouths of the unlikely.

Use discernment. Process information through your background, education, and the books you have read and pray if you believe in it. At the end of the day, you can make any piece of information work if you believe in it enough. Without trust, there is no risk-taking, and without risk-taking, there is no innovation.
