Overview

Why do your brilliant ideas get ignored? Why do your logical arguments fail to persuade? And why do decisions keep getting made that go against all common sense? This book is for every smart, competent, and well-intentioned person who has ever felt like they were speaking into a void. It is for the expert whose expertise is ignored, the analyst whose analysis is overlooked, the strategist whose strategy is undermined. It is for anyone who has ever thought, ""If they would just listen to reason, we could solve this."" In Being Right Isn't Enough, strategist and advisor FC Bohnke pulls back the curtain on the hidden dynamics of organizational life. He reveals that meetings are not forums for rational debate, but stages for the performance of power. He shows that influence is not earned through the force of your argument, but through a complex and often invisible game of status, alignment, and trust. This is not a book of cynical political tactics. It is a book of clarity. It will give you a new mental model for understanding how power really works in the rooms where decisions are made. You will learn: -Why the most important part of any meeting happens before it even begins. -How to make your competence visible, without becoming a shameless self-promoter. -The difference between being valued and being trusted, and why it is the key to your career. -How to speak at the right ""altitude,"" and connect your ideas to the things that senior leaders actually care about. -When to speak, when to be silent, and why the most powerful move is often the one you don't make. If you are tired of being right but irrelevant, this book is your wake-up call. It will not give you a new set of tricks. It will give you a new way of seeing. And it will put you on the path to becoming not just right, but effective.
