A Conversation with Dr. Noel Tichy
The FIU Center for Leadership is pleased to present the next in The Leadership Lectures series, “A Conversation with Dr. Noel Tichy.” In this discussion-style presentation, hosted by FIU President Emeritus Mitch Maidique, Dr. Tichy will share insights on his latest book, “Judgment on the Front Line: How Smart Companies Win by Trusting their People,” (co-authored with Dr. Chris DeRose, 2012) which draws from his decades of leadership practice and research. In this new book, Tichy and DeRose provide insight on how to build a front-line focused organization with examples from leading companies such as Amazon, Zappos, and Ritz-Carlton. Tichy describes how front-line associates have unique insight into their customers, the competition, and the inner workings of their organizations. He urges leaders to learn from their front-line associates by empowering this underutilized source of talent and creativity to solve problems, and ultimately create more successful organizations.
