This month our guest speaker is Douglas Kruger - ‘Hall of Fame’ speaker and bestselling business author. THEY’RE YOUR RULES, BREAK THEM! Based on Douglas’s bestselling book, this is a talk for strategists, mavericks and originals. Do you have the courage to disrupt your own rules?
Every rule comes with an associated cost. It could be a monetary cost, or the loss of opportunity. It could be an agility-cost, as your own structures prevent you from serving customers. Worst of all, it could be a talent cost, as all your brightest people flee, while the dull and passive remain.
Real leaders are less interested in 'the way things have always been done’ than they are in achieving real goals. Douglas has detailed 50 specific ways to dismantle needless rules, and become way more productive. In this short talk, he will share several of the best of them.
