How the Curse of Knowledge Hurts You As a Leader

from The Real Truth About Leadership: Debunking the Myths. Teaching What Works. · host Thomas R. Harris

The more you know about something, the harder it can be to explain it. That's not a communication flaw — it's a cognitive bias called the curse of knowledge, and it affects how you lead, teach, delegate, design, and onboard. In this episode, we break down the specific ways this bias shows up without you realizing it, and what you can actually do to close the gap between what you know and what others understand.
