CUPA-HR Tennessee: East Tennessee Connection 2026

Session Description:

Our guest speaker for this year’s event is Dr. Michael McIntyre (Doc). Doc is a leadership coach who runs a company called GSD Manager Training (www.gsdrules.com). His background includes teaching in the business school at The University of Tennessee Knoxville and serving as Vice President of Organizational Development for a $700M distribution company. He’s authored a book on manager development called, “GSD Rules: Moving Managers from Unsure to Unstoppable,” and he’s going to help us apply the principles of the book to Higher Ed on March 10. The session will be entirely interactive, so come prepared to share opinions and best practices and engage in lively discussion.
