I hate being wrong

I was called for a brief meeting with my MD this evening. He was questioning a contract I'd put to him to sign, despite it having gone through all the right governance already. I've been psyching myself up about it all day. I wanted to rant about the fact he's undermining the governance he put in place, how he doesn't understand the sector. I was thinking how much I dislike the man and how he should just be fired because he's a bad leader

He posed two simple questions and argue as I could, what riled me most was the fact he was completely right and I hadn't even thought about it.

After the phone call I wad muttering under my breath about what a bastard he is. I wad really angry, but it didn't take long for me to realise I was actually just angry at myself. For not thinking it myself.

Then the anger moved to worry: will he think I'm crap, will he want me back in the business after Maternity leave?

So the lesson? He's not perfect, but he got where he is for a reason. Learn from your mistake and impress with the reaction.

I still hate it when I'm wrong...
