Admitting mistakes isn’t navel gazing, it’s basic humility, and it’s valuable and underrated in many social situations. You have a good point about the rest, but it’s orthogonal to this article so there’s no need to crap on it. Strong vision and aggressive pursuit of goals can indeed sometimes be motivating, but it also takes humility or it can become overbearing. Lack of vision is certainly a common failing of many managers.
