Don't Flinch: Pushing Back on Senior Management
Today, Chris talks about the Mondaypod Manager's Book of the Month: "The Last Tycoon" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and why it's so weird that people seem to have a hard time picking out who the villain is in movies.
Then, he gets in to one of the common misconceptions that team leaders have: that you can't push back on Senior Executives. He gives you five strategies to consider when you find yourself needing to (gently) correct the people who run the show.
