Yep, sometimes we're talking about something at work and in the middle of explaining my point I understand the flaw and just "oh, nevermind, you guys are righ" always a good exercise in logic and humility

I regularly encourage my co workers to speak out loud with me when going over processes or thoughts because by bouncing it between the 2 of us it's more likely that one of us will spot the massive glowing mistake someone made

So far it's been working quite well as we build out an entirely new SOP from scratch

Yeah I’ve been going crazy as I don’t have anyone else in my department for this. Like I don’t see the flaws in my thoughts until I start explaining shit to my boss because when you’re working on something your head is in a very different place from discussing it

you should invest in a rubber ducky

I've found writing emails can help with this. Many times I've started explaining a problem to someone when I'm stumped on what to do next but during the process of explaining, either the next step becomes obvious or I realize what the full solution is. I've got a friend coworker that has helped me solve many problems just by being willing to help. And he's helped me solve some problems I never even mentioned to him because I figured it out while writing an email to him.

The best managers and experts are like this. It's good to be wrong and take it like a champ.
