Leadership Study

Tuesday, April 20th, 2021 |11:30-12:30pm

Speaker: Teresa Quinlan

Do you challenge the status quo BUT people tell you, you’re disruptive? Are you doing things differently and think it’s a good thing, BUT others are telling you it’s a problem? Do you resist group think and others are telling you you’re not a team player?

The curse of the independent thinker are these labels; often because independent thinkers spark emotional reactions in others (and you) are not aware of, not managing well. These emotional reactions, left in the dark, and therefore not managed, are what derails independent thinking and all of the goodness that comes from it – like innovation, creativity, and cognitive diversity.
