Be More Wrong: How Failure Creates Outstanding Leaders | Colin Hunter

The old way to lead a team (the “command and control” leadership style that says the boss can’t make a single mistake) isn’t working anymore.

If you want to improve your team’s performance, you need to fail. Which means you need to be willing to fail in front of your team.

In this episode of How to Sell More, Mark Drager and guest Colin Hunter explore the power of making mistakes. Colin, the author of Be More Wrong: How Failure Makes You an Outstanding Leader, says that if you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t pushing hard enough. 

In Episode 103, you’ll learn:

✅ Why strong leadership seems to be missing in government and business in 2025.

✅ How embracing "Be More Wrong" can transform your leadership approach.

✅ Colin’s revolutionary four key leadership styles: Host, Energizer, Disruptor, and Catalyst

✅ How to create "playgrounds" where team members can safely experiment and learn.

✅ Why recruiting for humility, hunger, and people smarts is crucial for team success.

✅ The concept of being "antifragile" as a leader by deliberately seeking challenges.

Meet today’s guest: Colin is the CEO of the global leadership development company PotentialSquared, where he’s helped leaders transform their teams for over two decades. How does he do it? By disrupting traditional approaches and inspiring new ways to think about leadership centered on purposeful practice.
