- Doors open at 6:30 pm | Conversation begins at 7:00 pm.
About the book: The author of Expect To Win and Strategize To Win steps out with dynamic strategies for leaders of today and tomorrow.
Work has undergone a sea change, introducing a new matrix of concerns and questions for leaders and potential leaders. What does it take to lead effectively now? What does leadership even mean?
In this much-needed book, powerhouse Carla A. Harris examines the journey from individual contributor to leader. She targets the essential skills necessary to succeed, such as the importance of taking risks, creating a vision, and leveraging assets like relationships and partnerships. At the heart of this book are the eight things you must be intentional about every day--authenticity, building trust, creating other leaders, clarity, diversity, innovation, inclusivity, and voice--qualities that you need to hone and manifest to become a powerful, impactful leader no matter where you work. She also examines the key traits of being a transformational leader, focusing on the gaps she has seen in leadership that could impede or damage any leader's effectiveness.
Timely, inspiring, and filled with Harris's trademark practical advice, Lead to Win will become a touchstone for anyone looking to influence and lead others to make positive change.
