Description
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.
