Reception/Lecture with HBS Professor Nancy Koehn
Join the Harvard Business School Club of the Puget Sound and the Harvard Club of Seattle for a drinks reception and talk with HBS Professor Nancy Koehn, who will speak on her new book, Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times.
In her latest work, Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times, HBS Professor Nancy Koehn identifies the conditions that inspire true leadership by exploring the disparate lives of five remarkable figures—polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Nazi-resisting clergyman Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and environmental crusader Rachel Carson—and the adversity-born leadership they shared in common. Koehn’s examination equips us all with powerful models to call on in moments of critical decision-making. Join us for this riveting discussion and a drinks reception beforehand with Professor Koehn.
