Show Notes: Book of the Week – Surrounded by IdiotsEpisode 225 of The HaltingWinter Podcast

Episode Overview

Ever walked out of a meeting thinking an intelligent colleague completely missed your point? This week, the MLDC is exploring Thomas Erikson's fascinating book "Surrounded by Idiots" and discovering why communication breakdowns aren't about intelligence; they're about fundamentally different ways of processing information.

In this episode, Seth introduces the DISC personality model through Erikson's four-color system and reveals how local government leaders can transform their most frustrating interactions by learning to speak multiple "communication languages."
