30 years of Leadership Insights in 30 minutes

Powerful leaderships lessons. Lasting, positive impact

★★★★★

Made it to the top

If someone made these predictions on the day I graduated, I would have said she was out of her mind:

You will work for seven different companies, crossing two continents
Your jobs will take you to over 30 countries
You will survive two companies that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
You will be a senior leader in a multi-billion-dollar company

Here are some of the most pivotal lessons in my professional life.

I take my work very seriously, but I don’t take myself seriously. I hope you get a laugh out of these.

"An easy, but interesting and engaging read. This book covers two themes of wide relevance: (1) how to navigate working at a senior level in an organization, including matrix organizations and (2) at a granular level, what is leadership. In some instances, it not only efficiently captures the concept, but also further elucidated the thinking."
