Being right isn't everything... it's just a good start

Episode #84 // I have met some incredibly intelligent executives, who struggle to get the outcomes they should because they can't elicit the buy-in and commitment of those around them.

Many senior leaders try to drive outcomes from a position of ‘the smartest person in the room’. Well, being smart is awesome, but you’ve got to be REALLY smart if you want to learn how to use your intellect to get the job done the best way possible.

This means going way beyond your pure intellect into the nebulous world of emotional intelligence and human connection!

In this episode, we explore the good and the bad of being right, the things that are even more important than this, and I talk you through how to use influence as the mainstay of your execution repertoire.
