What happens when you discover that being ”right” can kill your effectiveness as a leader?
In this transformative episode, Jose Pires—global excellence and innovation advisor to Fortune 50 companies and organizations ranging from startups to the Vatican—reveals why today's leadership crisis isn't what you think it is.
Jose has trained over 50,000 leaders across 50+ countries and challenges everything you thought you knew about leading in chaos. You'll discover:
🔥 Why most leaders are failing: The shocking truth about why we're in a ”low” of both management AND leadership across all industries (and how disruption has become an excuse for incompetence)
🎯 The ”duck and wait” problem: How talented people are actively waiting for your strategy to ”blow by and die”—and what to do about it
⚡ Collaborative vs. Transactional Leadership: The evolution that separates multi-trillion dollar organizations from everyone else (and why most leaders never make this leap)
💡 The Innovation Execution Secret: Why real innovators aren't who you think—and how the ”test of innovation execution” reveals the only four traits that actually matter
🚫 The ”Being Right” Trap: Jose's powerful personal story of getting called out by an executive—and how this failure became the foundation of his entire philosophy
🎯 The Ikigai Framework: The Japanese secret to finding your purpose that 90%+ of leaders have never considered (and how to use it practically, not esoterically)
Plus: Why you should NEVER pick a company or industry to work for, the real difference between management and leadership, and why ”move the needle” is the most dangerous phrase in business.
Whether you're a frontline manager or C-suite executive, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and give you a blueprint for creating massive positive change—starting today.
