I had to learn the opposite lessons:

- sometimes, you are right, and you need to assert your opinion

- your confident boss might not know what they are doing,

- and getting involved with your work makes the work a lot more fun.

I think the default for me is probably to bluntly say what I think. Maybe what you learned is needing to “assert your opinion” more. I think either way taking your personal ego out of what is said has been an important lesson for me.
