When you hide your uncertainty behind confidence

The team asked me straight out what we were doing about the problem, and the honest answer was that I didn't know. Instead I gave them a confident plan I'd half-invented on the spot. I could see it in their faces, they can feel the gap between how sure I'm acting and how sure I actually am, and every time I do it, a little more trust leaks out.
