Corporate Rebels United: the start of a corporate spring?
This document describes the Corporate Rebels United movement, which aims to promote innovation and change within large organizations. It outlines the problems with current organizations not keeping pace with today's world. The movement's goals are to define the values of a modern 21st century organization and promote those values within their own networks. The movement has grown to over 700 members across several countries and industries. Their plans for 2014 include having 2000 members, further documenting practices, and holding events to encourage people to take agency within their organizations.

- 19. We are Protagonists “Torebel is to push against something. To lead is to advocate for an idea. To rebel is to say “heck no.” To lead is to say “we will.” To rebel is to deny the authority of others. To lead is to invoke your own authority. A protagonist is a principal champion of a cause or program or action. The protagonist does not wait for permission to lead, innovate, or strategize. They do what is right for the firm, without regard to status. Their goal is to do what’s good for the whole. Nilofer Merchant

It’s a choice that’s not about satisfying their ego, but about holding themselves and their ambitions to a more enlightened standard of leadership. And it requires the worthy work of showing up as their best self every day, and making a lasting positive impact on their people, teams, customers—even society.” Keith Yamashita – SY Partners
