A similar concept for being a successful data professional is, "That it is important to know, what you don't know". This is of course the first step in the realisation process of being able to do something about the fact. Some very powerful truths written here.

I liken this to giving a yes/no answer and turning your back when someone is obviously looking for more and needs help but doesn't know how to ask for it. Great job. Very well written.

I have a co-worker that adds a wrinkle to this. Instead of "I" he substitutes "We" and says things like, "We don't know, we'll need to hire an expert." Unfortunately, he almost always means "I" when he says "We" and our team ends up with tire tread down the back when it shouldn't. Excellent post and great advice.
