Description

The Leo Hill Leadership Speaker Series featuring Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal As a U.S. Army general, business leader and author, retired Gen. Stan McChrystal has practiced and established effective leadership throughout his career. In July 2010, he retired from the Army as a four-star general, with his last assignment as the commander of the International Security Assistance Force and as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. He had previously served as the director of the Joint Staff and as the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command. The author of My Share of the Task, Team of Teams and Leaders, he is a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and the co-founder of the McChrystal Group, a leadership consulting firm. His latest book, Risk: A User’s Guide, offers timely leadership advice that reminds us that we are often our own greatest risk factor. Rather than focus on outward threats we can't predict, we must look to our own weaknesses that stand in the way of responding to risks efficiently and effectively. Following up on the New York Times bestseller Team of Teams and Leaders: Myth and Reality, Risk: A User's Guide helps us improve organizational resilience and build a strong defense against what we know—and what we don’t.

The annual series brings a world leader to campus for two days each year, for a public address and informal visits with students, to share of their own leadership development, growth and advice.
