An award-winning CEO and communications expert shows how authentic leadership eliminates the need for the shortcuts that sabotage success. “Fake it till you make it” just doesn't work-at least not long enough to build a sustainable business.
Self-doubt and the intense pressure of facing the unknown are real problems for entrepreneurs and leaders. But there's a difference between feigning confidence and running a con game; Elizabeth Holmes and Billy McFarland thrived on faking it for a short while, but their businesses were all aspiration, no foundation, and so collapsed disastrously. This book revisits the core of leadership, defines authentic, reality-based business integrity, and shows readers how to attain and maintain it.
Through the double lens of running her own PR firm in Silicon Valley and advising hundreds of other executives, award-winning CEO Sabrina Horn shows leaders how to attend to the fundamentals and gain the clarity of thought necessary to make sound business decisions. She delivers real, workable strategies and best practices with firsthand accounts of painful lessons. Horn's fake-free advice will empower leaders to disarm fear and organize risk, manage setbacks, plan for the unexpected, and create a company culture designed for long-term, sustainable growth.

A new edition of Devora Zack's classic bestseller (over 120,000 sold in 15 languages) on networking techniques that leverage the strengths of the mingling-averse, updated throughout, with two new chapters.
An international bestseller, Devora Zack's book flipped networking on its head, challenging the narrative that most books on networking recommended, which offered little or even bad advice for the 25 percent of the population who are introverts. In contrast, Zack tells introverts that they do not need to mimic extroverted networking styles, and instead shows how introverts' natural traits can actually be highly successful networking strategies. This new edition integrates real life examples shared by readers of the first edition to enrich the narrative. It also updates the interactive survey from the first edition and includes revisions to consider digital networking and tools, such as Instagram, which didn't exist when the first edition was published, asking questions such as “What is the role, if any, of Emojis? What about the emergence of virtual conferences?” The second edition will also discuss sensitivity to generational differences to accommodate the growth of millennials in the workforce, working with older workers and how to strengthen their relationships.
