She ponders on the question, ‘Why do Mavericks play Devil’s Advocate so consistently, and whether Mavericks should only work with Socialised Mavericks. Listen Up! Judith’s LinkedIn profile is here, […]
The idea of Millennials at work have been fascinating people for a long time. Millennials are those born roughly between the years of 1981 – 1996. The corporate world acknowledges that the digital revolution would make them different from the generations before them. They haven’t however, fully realised that the old way of working is […]
Are Millennials the new Mavericks? I remember being interviewed a few times in the early ‘noughties’ about Generation Y. I stated then that Gen Y were starting to behave like Mavericks, without the influence to demand what Mavericks have. Jump forward a decade and Gen Y has become known as Millennials; with the realisation that […]
‘Facts do not cease to exist because you ignore them’ – Aldous Huxley. Yes, it sounds obvious but in practice this truism is often overlooked. This is much to the annoyance and exasperation of Socialised Mavericks everywhere. These Mavericks strongly believe in objective truth (and will defend the concept to the death!). This is the reason […]

When being wilful is a good thing … I had an interesting discussion the other day around the terminology that I use to describe mavericks. It centred on the word ‘wilful’. Wilful means different things to different people. For some it can mean defiance, for others mischievous. I was reminded of the importance of context and […]

However, for more detailed information, please see my book: The Maverick Paradox: The Secret Power Behind Successful Leaders. Following a number of requests, I have produced a […]
