What secrets do history’s luminaries share? Widely considered to be one of today’s most insightful biographers, Walter Isaacson captures the unique cultural currents surrounding remarkable leaders and creative thinkers in his best-selling books on Steve Jobs, Leonardo DaVinci, Jennifer Doudna, Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. Sharing fascinating details of how success came to each of these figures through the questioning of conventional wisdom and a willingness to explore new ideas, Isaacson provides an astute analysis of timeless leadership principles and the lessons they can teach us on fostering the creativity to compete in a new century of globalization. A book signing will follow the lecture.
