Greg Acton
What You Know to Be True May No Longer Be Valid
While leadership entails guiding people in the direction of success, it also requires the ability to look at problems and seek solutions. How you frame those problems can have much to do with the solution arrived at. Mark Twain once said, “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know, it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” Remaining convinced that our way is the right way when in fact we might not know what we don’t know can be the stumbling block to uncovering solutions. The ‘right thing’ often depends on the situation and who is looking at it. As a strategic leader, you will be required to choose when uncertain, and to decide where to focus as well as where NOT to. Greg Acton leads his clients through a process of problem solving in uncertain situations to arrive at viable solutions and he shares some of his thoughts with us in this podcast.
