Event Details
Now more than ever, leaders are faced with the challenges of finding balance in their lives. As the lines between personal and professional lives are blurred, prioritization of what is important becomes that much more complicated. Having written two best sellers, the first on how to become a values-based leader “From Values to Actions” and the second on how to build a values-based organization “Becoming the Best”, strategy and management expert, Harry Kraemer, realized that he was missing one very important pillar in his writing: how does one live a value based life? Harry’s new book “Your 168: Finding Purpose and Satisfaction in a Values-based Life”, will help you work through the demands, distractions, and challenges that tend to never go away as a leader. Harry’s insights will guide you to be able to identify the specific areas where all of your time, effort, and attention are spent – your life buckets – and reallocate them to reflect your priorities, choices, and unique circumstances.
