Learn about the 44 Decisions that will Make or Break All Leaders
The author and CEO of Meetup outlines the 44 challenges leaders face when starting a new position, then shows you the decision framework he applied to overcome challenges in his own role.
A note from Hope Katz Gibbs, founder, Inkandescent PR + Publishing Co.— Put on your business best and get ready to Decide and Conquer with the help of author David Siegel, CEO of the powerful networking group Meetup. In his new book, he helps leaders learn about 44 decisions that will make or break their success.
I had the privilege of meeting David during a recent interview with my client Margarita Cheng, CFP® Pro on her weekly video podcast Margaritas with Marguerita. She asked David about one of his favorite concepts — called the pivoting strategy—and how Meetup embraced this idea during the pandemic when the company’s communities couldn’t meet in person. You’ll also learn about a few of the 44 best practices he describes in his book, his path to becoming the CEO of Meetup where he practices the art of radical transparency.
