Leading Without the Leash: What Training Guide Dogs Reveals About the Future of Work

Recorded live from the Mannington Commercial New York Showroom, this conversation explores an unexpected model for the future of work: guide dog training.

Amanda Schneider is joined by Deborah Golden, author of the foreword of Work for What’s Next, and John Miller, CEO of Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs, to examine what the process of raising and training guide dogs reveals about judgment, trust, confidence, and independence—capabilities becoming increasingly essential as organizations navigate artificial intelligence, accelerating change, and greater uncertainty.

Rather than teaching obedience, guide dog training prepares dogs (and the people who depend on them) for situations that cannot be anticipated one by one. That same shift is reshaping leadership today. The conversation explores what it means to develop good judgment, design environments where people can succeed, and prepare organizations for a future without a complete playbook.
