Episode notes
Why do smart people get things so wrong?
In this episode of Deep Leadership, I sit down with Professor Peter Lamont to explore a powerful idea: it’s not what you think that matters most – it’s how you think.
We dive into his concept of Radical Thinking – a different approach to critical thinking that challenges you to examine the roots of your beliefs. Peter explains why every one of us is operating from a limited view of reality, shaped by what we notice – and what we miss.
If you’re a leader, this conversation will challenge how you make decisions, how you communicate, and how you understand others. Because leadership is a people business – and people see the world in very different ways.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your view of the world is always incomplete
- What Radical Thinking really means (and why it matters)
- How echo chambers and algorithms shape your thinking
- Why curiosity matters more than being right
- How better thinking leads to better leadership
If you want to make better decisions, lead more effectively, and see the bigger picture – this episode is for you.
