Keynote Featuring David Mead: Lead with (Un)Common Sense
 

Great leadership is common sense but not commonly practiced. Obstacles like office politics, time pressure, and poor collaboration often hinder these traits. Policies and processes can't replace human dynamics that build trust and inspire ownership. David presents a practical, science-backed framework to reduce friction and build trust in teams. This approach helps leaders shift to a culture of trust and connection. Effective leaders aren't revolutionary, they consistently apply (Un)common Sense principles.
