Have you ever noticed that individuals of brilliance often fall short of their true potential? Great ideas, concepts, and initiatives seldom break through the sea of business mediocrity. As a senior international leader with over thirty years corporate experience, Hamish Thomson has discovered that true transformation and breakthrough comes from personal insight—derived not from intellect or technical mastery, but from experience and observation of real-life occurrences.

It's Not Always Right to Be Right offers unique business and leadership insights, teachable models, and practical advice on what one needs to do differently to achieve desired results. Writing in a casual, autobiographical style, Hamish shares the key experiences and hard-won lessons that enabled him to drive significant change when all the right ways of doing things didn't work. Packed with fascinating true-to-life stories and powerful, often counterintuitive lessons, this invaluable guide: offers honest business and leadership lessons drawn from a long and successful corporate career; features learning messages, practical steps, and shareable strategic models and frameworks to help you make a tangible difference where it counts; and provides strategic models that can be used to frame discussions and drive change in individuals, teams, and entire organizations.
