🇬🇧 In doubt, there is no doubt – How to avoid costly mistakes in hiring and promoting leaders

Shownotes

There are moments in recruiting or promotion decisions when something feels off. A slight hesitation. A subtle inner resistance. A sense that something doesn’t fully fit. And yet many leaders ignore exactly dieses early signal — out of time pressure, out of hope, or simply because the team urgently needs someone. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why those moments of doubt are not a weakness, but one of the strongest indicators in leadership selection.

He shares a simple but powerful principle he learned early in his career and has since applied with thousands of leaders around the world: “When there is doubt, there is no doubt.” With real leadership examples, Stefan explores why leaders so often override their intuition, how pressure to “finally fill the role” leads to poor decisions, and why hope is never a substitute for competence and behaviour.

You will learn how to take your instinct seriously without being impulsive, how to test your doubts rationally, how to evaluate real behaviour rather than polished rhetoric, and when to bring in a second set of eyes to avoid blind spots. Stefan also shares a practical method used in top leadership teams to assess candidates more effectively and make clearer decisions. –––
