The Art of Insubordination How to Dissent and Defy Effectively

How to blow the lid off status quo systems, structures, and ideas that don't work. While change can be good, it is almost always hard. It requires courage to step up to challenge flawed systems, ideas, and assumptions. Unfortunately, the vast majority of would-be rebels lack the strength and skills to influence others and forge real, positive change. The rest of us are ill-equipped to champion new and exciting ideas that just might save us. Based on decades of research, The Art of Insubordination is the essential guidebook for anyone seeking to be heard, make change, and rebel against an unhealthy, stagnant, or even dangerous status quo. The book also gives the rest of us the evidence-based tools, tactics, and strategies we need to become better supporters and allies of our leaders in change, ensuring that the best ideas, products, and solutions survive and win the day. Filled with great stories about dissenters in the trenches as well as science that will make you see the world in a different way, this book is for anyone who wants to see more justice and innovation in the world, whether that means one person calling out a wrong or a group fighting larger cultural problems.
