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 book, 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 one must be intentional about every day — authenticity, building trust, creating other leaders, clarity, diversity, innovation, inclusivity and voice — qualities needed to hone and manifest to become a powerful, impactful leader no matter where one works. 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.
Lead to Win features Harris’ trademark practical advice and aims to become a touchstone for anyone looking to influence and lead others to make positive change. Harris is also the author of Expect to Win and Strategize to Win.
Her Barnes & Noble appearance is offered in collaboration with Links Inc., an American invitation-only social and service organization of prominent Black women in the U.S. Call 215-436-4202 to register and for more information.
