"So many of us define our paths forward in terms of the obstacles that block us. HEROic Leadership, instead, is about being optimistic that there is a way to achieve your goal, that obstacles are there to be overcome through resilience, and that doing so will make you effective in your work. At the core of this is hope, an under-appreciated building block of successful leadership. Hope is infectious, especially to your team members, and is the key motivator to action."

Paul Luongo, Chief Legal Counsel, SymphonyAI
