A breakthrough guide to the real lessons of business
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 30 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:
- Distills a lifetime of business wisdom into a single volume
- 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
- Provides strategic models that can be used to frame discussions and drive change in individuals, teams, and entire organizations

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO BE RIGHT. EVERY SINGLE TIME
In their minds, there is always a winner and there is always a loser.
Deep down, very few of us like these people. And yet, often we work for them, we work with them and perhaps we even identify as one of them.
At times, I have been that person. It does not make me proud.
True success comes from humility, compromise and connection.
As a former Regional President and Global brand head for Mars Incorporated (UK, Australia and Chicago), a senior marketer for Reebok International (England and the Netherlands) and a fresh-faced account executive in the London advertising scene, Hamish Thomson reveals that breakthrough and transformation come not from intellect or technical mastery, but from experience and observation of real-life occurrences. And sometimes the best solutions are the most counterintuitive.
It's Not Always Right to be Right offers learning messages, practical steps, and shareable strategic frameworks to help drive change in individuals, teams and entire organisations. Including commentary and critique from 17 leading international business experts--leaders of global industry, diplomacy and advocacy--this seminal guide offers applicable lessons, robustly tested.
Whether you're just starting out in the business and corporate world, in the middle of your career looking to break through, or in a global leadership position seeking meaningful change and exceptionalism, this guidebook will put you on the path to true business and personal success.
