What if the key to better decisions isn't more datait's unlearning what you know?
In this episode, leadership expert John Spence shares three decades of hard-won wisdom on what actually drives successful organizations. With 31 years coaching Fortune 100 companies like Apple, Microsoft, and IBM, John challenges conventional leadership thinking with refreshingly honest insights.
Discover why honesty is the single most important leadership quality, how to build the three critical quotients (IQ, EQ, and AQ), and why strategic planning sessions are doing it all wrong. John reveals the surprising truth about intuition (it's reverse pattern recognition!), explains why AI stops at knowledge but never reaches wisdom, and shares why being #2-4 in your market might be better than fighting for #1.
This conversation tackles the real challenges leaders face: knowing when to say no, building resilient teams, adapting to constant disruption, and making decisions when the future is uncertain. Plus, don't miss Teasha's Decision-Making Persona AssessmentJohn's responses will surprise you.
Whether you're a seasoned executive or emerging leader, this episode delivers actionable frameworks for focused innovation, better decision-making, and sustainable growth in an unpredictable world.
