Opening General Session: Courageous Leadership: The Professional Troublemaker’s Guide to Competitive Advantage
In an era where disruption is inevitable, the choice becomes: lead it or be led by it. Today’s most successful organizations aren’t just surviving disruption; they’re cultivating Professional Troublemakers: leaders who challenge constructively, innovate strategically, and transform boldly.
