Case Introduction:
Often you as a leader want to push your agenda because you feel your organization needs constructive change. However, here is your dilemma.

This case focuses on how you as a leader can bring change by using either or a combination of four strategies:
1) Disruptive Self-Expression
2) Verbal Jujitsu
3) Variable-Term Opportunism
4) Strategic Alliance Building
