How CISOs Can Break the Curse of Knowledge
In this webinar, Russell Eubanks addresses a common challenge CISOs face: the Curse of Knowledge. Drawing inspiration from the work of Chip and Dan Heath, as featured in their article "What is the Curse of Knowledge?" in their Harvard Business Review. Russell highlights how deep expertise can unintentionally become a barrier to clear communication and leadership. The Heath brothers explain, "Once we know something—we find it hard to imagine not knowing it. Our knowledge has ‘cursed’ us. We have difficulty sharing it with others because we can’t readily re-create their state of mind."
Russell will provide CISOs with three practical strategies to overcome this challenge and communicate more effectively. From embracing a novice mindset to eliminating technical jargon and regularly gaining new perspectives, these techniques will help cybersecurity leaders build more collaborative, adaptable teams. With actionable steps and real-world examples, this webinar will provide what CISOs need to break free from the limitations of their expertise and lead their teams with clarity, openness, and adaptability.
