Author Ruchira Chaudhary says in the preface of the books that when she returned to work after a mid-career MBA from University of Chicago Booth School of Business, ‘…my association with a certain large corporation also gave me clarity on the kind of organization I never wanted to work for again. It made me think hard about leaders who ostensibly move forward forward by stepping on others and holding them back.’
On 26 May, 7pm onwards, Ruchira will be in conversation with her publisher-CEO, Gaurav Shrinagesh, to elaborate on the above in the course of a discussion about her recent book, Coaching: The Secret Code to Uncommon Leadership. Brought to you by the Kunzum CEO Book Club.
