Leadership Myths & the War on Truth

What happens when you apply hard science to leadership? A lot of truths turn out to be unfounded myths.

Paul Gibbons, who strides both the corporate and consulting worlds, dug deep to uncover those myths, particularly as they affect change management. From flaws in personality assessments to the ineffectiveness of adapting to learning styles, Paul reveals many of the major workplace myths he’s uncovered researching his latest books.

Paul Gibbons was most recently a partner at IBM Consulting—a thought leader and futurist on behavioral science, culture, leadership, and the future of work. He previously advised PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), KPMG, and Deloitte on talent, culture, and leadership. He previously authored five books, most prominently The Science of Organizational Change and Impact, the first two books in the Leading Change in the Digital Age series. Those books birthed the conversation about change mythology. The first volume of his Humanizing Business series, The Spirituality of Work and Leadership, was published in 2021.
