Rebels at Work: A Handbook for Leading Change from Within challenges the assumption that leadership comes from a position of power or authority.

With practical advice and guidance, authors Lois Kelly and Carmen Medina—rebels in their own right—will help empower you by transforming the way you present your ideas and engage your coworkers and bosses.

Attendees will learn:

• The difference between good and bad rebels at work.
• Common fears about pushing for change and how to manage them.
• Do this first: understanding how things work at work.
• Creating a rebel alliance, avoiding hero worship.
• Positioning and communicating ideas so people pay attention (and maybe even help you.
• Using conflict and controversy productively.
• Tips for staying sane and resilient.
•  And …When to quit.

Carmen thinks most organizations don’t have a good way of determining when it’s time to transform and/or “sell” their current business model.

Heretics, mavericks, and rebels at work can provide organizations with the important early warning system they so desperately need.
