Be More Wrong
How Failure Makes You an Outstanding Leader
The surest path to success is to fail.
What if you could build a workplace culture that was less like a classroom, and more like a playground: a place filled with opportunities to take risks and test boundaries, with soft ground on which to fall? A place where you and your team are free to make mistakes, and get things wrong—a place where it’s okay to fail?
In Be More Wrong, noted leadership coach Colin Hunter shows you why, in the age of disruption, it’s never been more important to fail early, fail often, and fail forward. Through his Pi2 Leadership Impact Model, he shows you how to create systems and build habits that will help you lead with greater confidence, conviction, and connection. You’ll learn how to recognize different leadership styles, and what transforms a good leader into an outstanding one.
As you leave your ego and expertise at the door and embark on a journey to observe human behavior, create new ideas, and boldly experiment, you will build a playground for yourself and your team. However unlikely a leader you feel yourself to be, you can get it right—by being more wrong.
