The Biggest Mistake People Make After Reading Surrounded by Idiots - Thomas Erikson

This is a sneak peek from an upcoming episode of We Have A Meeting Podcast featuring Thomas Erikson, author of the global bestseller Surrounded by Idiots.

In this preview, Thomas challenges one of the biggest misconceptions around DISC and the colour system. He explains why the colours are not personality types, what DISC actually measures, and why so many people misunderstand how communication really works.

This short clip is part of a much deeper conversation about behaviour, self awareness, leadership, and influence. The full episode goes further into DISC, communication styles, conflict, sales, and why people struggle to understand each other at work.

If you have read Surrounded by Idiots, taken a DISC test, or want to communicate more effectively with different types of people, this preview will change how you think about the colours.
