Marsha Johnson : This election season , it seems like politicians are continually `` doubling-down '' on their positions. When I first noticed this term , I thought OK , they are standing firm -- with emphasis . She says we like strong leaders , but want them to be self-aware ; it 's not weak to admit flaws . Johnson : The longer a leader takes to admit flaw , the more some will turn against them .
