How Leaders Stay Relevant in an Ever Changing World - Alan Gregerman # 155

The discussion explores why most innovation isnât about originality, but abou...

Stop hoarding expertise. Start unlocking growth with real curiosity.Most tech teams trust expertise. Leaders build, iterate, and launch what they âknowââbut 8 out of 10 startups fail because experts donât check if buyers want the solution.
