Al Pittampalli: Why Being Persuadable Beats Being Persuasive

Al Pittampalli is the author of Read This Before Our Next Meeting and Persuadable. He makes the case that most recurring meetings exist only because they are on the calendar, shows what happens when you cancel them for three weeks, and then argues that the scarce skill is not persuading other people but being genuinely willing to change your own mind. He also covers his six months in Seth Godin alternative MBA, publishing with the Domino Project, and why some ideas spread far more easily than others.
