Do we over think leadership? Yes, sometimes, says Adam Bryant. Back by popu-
lar demand at the National Council Conference, Bryant focuses on leadership basics and delivers unforgettable lessons
with a humorous twist. Based on his intimate chats with more than 70 top CEOs of nonprofit and for-profit organizations,
as well as some unexpected personalities like Mario Batali, Bryant elaborates on the five qualities that set leaders apart
— passionate curiosity, battle-hardened confidence, team smarts, a simple mindset, and fearlessness — and offers
concrete advice on how to manage, lead, and succeed.
