The New Superior - A Better Way to Be the One in Charge
Are there hidden weaknesses in the way you seek to influence people? Are you applying outdated strategies to meet new demands? If you believe that you and your team might benefit from shifting into a higher gear, this presentation is for you.
Scientific research has revealed exactly how styles and approaches to leadership impact the levels of engagement and motivation felt by the members of any team. The cause-effect relationship is unmistakable. Managers having unhealthy attitudes about their organizational superiority rely on dominance signaling and other oppressive behaviors to compel people to action, which has a deflating effect on their enthusiasm and productivity. On the other hand, reflexively subordinate or indecisive leaders cause teams to feel stuck and unable to move forward. The goal, therefore is to strike a balance that maximizes team effectiveness, which is what this presentation will help attendees to accomplish.
Some consequential questions that will be answered in this presentation include:
- Why did Alec Baldwin shoot a member of his set crew?.
- Why did universities produce sexual predators among esteemed faculty?
- Why did police lose the trust of communities that need police most?
- Why did rape complaints grow in frequency on military bases?
- What is the single cause of all forms of illegal discrimination?
- What does it take for leaders to earn trust when everything’s on the line?
Don't settle for being a hierarchy; be a TEAM. This presentation will explain the difference in ways you won't soon forget.

“The New Superior: a better way to be the one in charge” (2023)
"The New Superior" is a tutorial on the fundamentals of contemporary high-stakes leadership, drawn from the unique experiences and insights of one of America's most respected forensic laboratory executives who reminds us that urgency is what energizes teams in the face of existential threats. Unfortunately, momentum is often sacrificed by toxic influencers whose need to dominate suppresses collaboration, even in matters of life and death. From the bombing of the 1996 Olympics to the brutal slaying of a young fashion model near Chicago, John M. Collins takes you inside of pressure-packed situations where two opposing styles of leadership confront each other in a primitive and dangerous struggle. In this struggle you will learn that both styles live within you, but only one will allow you to become the leader that people trust when everything is on the line.
