Brilliant Doubt cover

We need leaders who doubt.

No playbook exists for the complexity, challenges and choices leaders are dealing with, so why do they – and we – expect certainty? Certainty does not guarantee success or the avoidance of failure. What if leaders can create better results by harnessing doubt effectively?

Doubt is complex: it can both paralyze us and propel us forward. In Brilliant Doubt, Jenny Williams challenges how we think about doubt and reveals its power. She examines the role of self-doubt and external doubts – our own and others’ – shining a light on how leaders can work with doubt to inform their decision-making, and ultimately to achieve better results. Her insightful and practical approach will change your relationship with doubt forever, and show you how to harness uncertainty to inform decision-making, and ultimately to achieve better results.

Jenny Williams (MCC) is a top Executive and Systemic Team Coach who has lectured at Cambridge University on leadership, entrepreneurship and creativity. She has spent thousands of hours working with exceptional clients who doubt, showing them how to leverage the power of doubt as a catalyst for clarity, creativity and confidence.
