I sometimes have a position with a bit of authority. When someone screws something up, I usually like to say: 'Don't worry about it. You should see the things I've screwed up.' They start feeling much more relaxed than if I pulled some kind of superiority thing on them.

It is always nice to hear that someone is can admit they are wrong.

Admitting you're wrong gets to be fun. I might have had more opportunity to practice it than most people, but I almost enjoy it now. It is surprising that it used to be so hard to do.
