In Leading Matters: Lessons from My Journey, current Chairman of Google's parent company Alphabet, former President of Stanford University, & Godfather of Silicon Valley John L. Hennessy shares the core elements of leadership that helped him become a successful tech entrepreneur, esteemed academic, & venerated administrator. Hennessy's approach to leadership is laser-focused on the journey rather than the destination. Each chapter in Leading Matters looks at valuable elements that have shaped Hennessy's career in practice & philosophy. He discusses the pivotal role that humility, authenticity & trust, service, empathy, courage, collaboration, innovation, intellectual curiosity, storytelling, & legacy have all played in his prolific, interdisciplinary career. Hennessy takes these elements & applies them to instructive stories, such as his encounters with other Silicon Valley leaders including Jim Clark, founder of Netscape; Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State & Stanford provost; John Arrillaga, one of the most successful Silicon Valley commercial real estate developers; & Phil Knight, founder of Nike & philanthropist with whom Hennessy cofounded Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University. Across government, education, commerce, & non-profits, the need for effective leadership could not be more pressing. Join us as John Hennessy sits down with Marissa Mayer, cofounder of Lumi Labs & former CEO & President of Yahoo, to discuss his new book. We are pleased to have Books onsite selling copies of Leading Matters: Lessons from my Journey before & after the program. This event will be streamed live on our Facebook page.
