Intelligent Disobedience:

The Difference between Good and Great Leaders

Robert L. (Bob) McGannon, Mindavation
The ability to successfully challenge, pushback and make suggestions to management that defend the integrity of your department or project objectives in contrast with the perceived expectations of others is pivotal to true success as a leader. Like the seeing-eye dog training environment that embraces “Intelligent Disobedience” as pivotal to success for these assistance pets, leaders need to know how to “disobey their masters” as a means of “saving the business” just as seeing-eye dogs “save and empower their masters” with their vision and behavior. This presentation is fun, informative and will provide you with a different way of addressing the challenges we face as business leaders.

Tuesday, October 14, 8:45 - 10:00am
