Robin Bobcat@Popehat Being able to say "I don't know" is one of the strongest things a person can say. Right up there with "I was wrong."

Bruno Girin@RobinBobcat @Popehat "I don't know but I will find out" was the most powerful phrase I learnt when I was doing a client facing IT job (of course, this only works if you really go and find out the answer).
ilmari@brunogirin @RobinBobcat @Popehat I like saying "I don't know, let's find out together!" when people ask me for help with something about which I have general knowledge but not the specific detail.
@ilmari @RobinBobcat @Popehat yes, that works in a team, slightly less so with customers who expect you to deliver a service 🙂
