WEBINAR: February 25, 2022 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST

Leadership-Mindset Webinar: Team Decision-Making when Time is Scarce (Dr. Daylian Cain, Yale University, USA, 2 hrs.)

How to Discover that You're on the Wrong Path: FAST!  

(Lessons from the Dept. of Defense, Big Tech, Van Halen, and High-Stakes Poker)  

Learn how to use "Red-Teaming" techniques to foster healthy disagreement in your teams, without creating disarray and without wasting time. This is not about criticizing one’s leaders, which is often a career-limiting move. Instead, it is about how you—once you are the leader—can create an atmosphere where people below you are more comfortable to speak up before bad ideas gain traction. This is a “fail fast” method that allows you to lead inclusively while holding more decisive meetings.  

Learning Outcomes:

  • Participants will be able to explore the behavioral-economic theory behind making better decisions through RED-TEAMING.
  • Participants will be able to examine practical leadership tips on how to apply RED-TEAMING.
  • Participants will be able to support healthy disagreement in their teams without wasting time and without lacking confidence.
