Crichton, Gell-Mann Amnesia and the NFL Draft

In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit a powerful idea from Michael Crichton about how easily we doubt experts in one moment and trust them completely in the next. Through the lens of NFL draft grades, we explore the Gelman amnesia effect and why even seasoned executives fall for it. This story is a reminder that leaders must protect their judgment, resist the pull of outside noise, and trust the expertise they have earned.
