The Other F Word: Failure and How Successful Leaders Put It to Work

Presentation – The East Bay Chapter of the Berkeley-Haas Alumni Network is privileged to host a presentation by Dr. John Danner and Mark Coopersmith, the authors of The Other F Word, June 8th

The East Bay Chapter of the Berkeley-Haas Alumni Network is privileged to host a presentation by Dr. John Danner and Mark Coopersmith, the authors of The Other F Word. Failure is a fundamentally misunderstood and underutilized resource. In their engaging and provocative talk about their book The Other F Word, the authors will expand your view of failure by offering a process to become a more failure savvy leader: recognizing failure earlier, minimizing its damage, and harnessing lessons learned to improve future outcomes. You’ll walk away with strategies you can start employing immediately, and will never look at failure the same way again!

Networking – if time permits, there will be networking activities prior to the presentation with additional opportunities following the presentations and Q&A
