On October 8th, we’ll be joined by Dr. Todd Kashdan to discuss his book, The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively. The process of insubordination within organizations often takes a heavy toll on the transgressor. Dr. Kashdan thinks he can increase your odds of success. He describes the work as a cookbook filled with recipes for permitting dissent and embracing it when present; effectively expressing unpopular ideas and how to champion them; and managing your own discomfort when being insubordinate or when interacting with other rebels. Dr. Kashdan will share principles of insubordination, skills to communicate more persuasively, how to attract valuable allies, and how to persevere in the face of resistance.
