OVERVIEW

Obeying all of the rules rarely generates breakthrough performance because it does not generate innovative approaches. Breaking the rules randomly doesn’t work either. This is where intelligent disobedience comes in: knowing when and how to break, bend, or invent new rules for better outcomes. Espousing a higher form of ethics, intelligent disobedience seeks to surface hidden truth and produce actions of higher integrity to yield superior results.
Intelligent Disobedience involves successfully countering the directions of management. This includes challenging, pushing back, and making suggestions to management that defend the integrity of your initiatives or department objectives, potentially against the expectations of a stakeholder. Like the seeing-eye dog program that embraces intelligent disobedience to train their dogs to protect and ensure the safety of their masters, organisational leaders need to know how to “disobey their masters” to "save the business.” 

TAKEAWAYS

Define intelligent disobediene in a project context
Discuss the challenges of engaging in intelligent disobedience
Examine the foundations of intelligent disobedience in the project world: risk, authenticity and ethics
Explore a decision making process for when to engage in intelligent disobedience
