About the Book:
Throughout his successful career as a civic leader, Paul Grogan has proven that vision, determination, and collaboration can open the door to transformational change and good fortune.
Underneath the credentials driving his success lie an astonishing range of skills and core values that unite Paul’s leadership platform. The scaffolding for this platform? A firm belief that an ounce of luck + a pound of effort = a ton of impact.
About the Authors:
Paul Grogan’s experience as an urban changemaker in four respected organizations spans five decades. He worked for two successive Boston mayors, served as CEO of LISC, transformed Harvard University’s relationship with the city of Boston, and capped his career as CEO of the Boston Foundation. Paul’s memoir captures his stories and the recollections of people who knew him well. Be Prepared to Be Lucky serves as a measure of Paul’s legacy and a roadmap for young civic leaders to face the challenges of modern times.
