Join ACC Charlotte and Tim Lupinacci, CEO and Chair of Baker Donelson, who will discuss key leadership concepts from his book Everybody Leads: How You Lead and Why it Matters, which will be published this Summer by Blue Hat Publishing. The book is built on the foundation that every individual, in every capacity, is leading in some way, whether they have a fancy title or big corner office. And the beauty of it is that we can each get better in our leadership skills and become more effective leaders. Tim’s lifelong leadership journey is the foundation of the stories and leadership concepts described in Everybody Leads. His growth as a leader is the result of learning through real-world experiences, making mistakes, experiencing setbacks, and navigating failures. It has only been through hard work, learning from failure, and remaining disciplined in improving that he has become a better leader who is still learning daily how to improve. And, as the stories and practical tips in this book display, everyone can grow as a leader.
