WEST’s Quiet Leader, Loud Results Author Chat
June 22, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
A practical primer to help you grow in your comfort and authenticity as a leader
In an increasingly complex world where leaders are in short supply, people of all personality types are needed to lead. This is a book by a quiet leader for current and aspiring quiet leaders, building on the experiences of experienced quiet leaders who have also road-tested different ways to be effective without being the loudest person in the room.
