Concurrent Session
Troublemakers Can Be A Source of Hidden Leaders
Milano Ballroom 1-2
Tuesday 04/16/2024 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM   Add to calendar
Competencies: Leadership (Behavioral), People (Technical) | Intended Audience: Senior-Level, Executive-level
Workplace Application:
Break the cycle of leadership conflict and apply a conscious strategy to build a leadership partnership that links formal and informal leaders to achieve desired business outcomes. 

It's counterintuitive to put troublemakers in leadership roles but when we look at their unconventional strengths, the most outspoken troublemakers may be natural born albeit misguided leaders.  Smart organizations are adopting a new concept of leadership that unites naturally oriented - informal leaders with their counterparts, appointed - formal leaders. Learn how the resulting partnership of formal and informal leaders links an organization's two major power bases to achieve common business goals and to produce performance excellence.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how to differentiate chronic malcontents - those who complain, blame and slack off  - and troublemaker leaders - those who get the job done by rocking the boat and breaking the rules, to identify who should be groomed as high potential resources. 
  • Adopt a new concept of leadership that unites naturally oriented - informal leaders with their counterparts, appointed - formal leaders.
  • Develop a complement of skilled troublemakers to better serve your customers, rattle your competitors and accelerate culture change within your organization.
