Dave O’Connor and Todd Underwood
This session is an opportunity for people to come together and discuss managing your management chain, facilitated by our knowledgeable guides. This is not a prepared talk or workshop—expect a less-formal session with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and to talk to other attendees who are interested in wrangling your management.
