About Persuadable (Harper Collins)
Published by Harper Collins. Available wherever books are sold.
The central message of my latest book Persuadable is, I believe, highly applicable to the world of continuing medical education: changing your mind in the face of new evidence is not a weakness but an undeniable strength. This attitude of intellectual honestly shows up in all of my work, both processes and deliverables.
If you’re interested in learning more about the book, here’s a brief blurb:
“As a leader, changing your mind has always been perceived as a weakness. Not anymore. In a world that’s changing faster than ever, successful leaders realize that a genuine willingness to change their own minds is the ultimate competitive advantage.
Drawing on evidence from social science, history, politics, and more, business consultant Al Pittampalli reveals why confidence, consistency, and conviction, are increasingly becoming liabilities—while humility, inconsistency, and radical open-mindedness are powerful leadership assets.
Pittampalli doesn’t just explain why you should be persuadable. Distilling cutting edge research from cognitive and social psychology, he shows you precisely how. Rife with actionable advice, Persuadable is an invaluable guide for today’s data-driven, results-oriented leader.”
Praise for the book:
Selected by the Wallstreet Journal as one if its books of the month.
