The CEO's Catalyst
In her new book, The CEO’s Catalyst, Leslie Pendergrast reimagines the source of true leadership wisdom.
Through a story that unfolds beyond the boardroom, she explores how listening deeply, confronting blind spots, and embracing unexpected insight can reshape not only how we lead others, but how we lead ourselves.
