The Art Of Insubordination - MTP418

Co-Host Todd Kashdan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/todd) The term 'insubordination' carries a negative connotation, for sure. But sometimes, it's exactly what's necessary in politics, your social life, your household and even--yes--in the workplace. But even when we truly care about whatever the cause is, we often worry about being at best 'high-maintenance', or at worst other than a 'team player' if and when we challenge the status quo. My returning guest is the author of The Art Of Insubordination, and in this episode we tackle the intricacies of combining bold manhood with our tendency to want to keep the peace. What is the true tradeoff between being a curious, independent thinker and simply keeping your head down? And aren't people who are disrupters like this usually jerks? In situations where we suspect 'groupthink', how do we find the right words and/or the right person to talk to about it? And what's the right approach to take in such scenarios? When should we seek to find a 'co-subordinate' to help us make our case? I mean, is it indeed true that there's often a lot of humility in being a proper insubordinate? How does all of this enter into our relationships with women...even to the level of the kinds of relationships we have with women to begin with? And what if we only think we're being insubordinate, when actually we're still playing right into 'the system'? What are some hints to know if that's the case...especially in these days of social media mind control?
