There's a worldwide conspiracy for the promotion of mediocrity--and we're all co-conspirators, witting or unwitting. But don't despair; there's a way out of the Mediocrity Trap! We can identify the common ways mediocrity infuses the workplace and acquire the necessary skills to defeat them. This presentation will share techniques from individuals and groups who rise above mediocrity and demonstrate how all of us can adopt them. No empty slogans but practical advice.
