leadership 2.0 fapac may 12, 2009
DESCRIPTION
Brief presentation given jointly with Grace Rodriguez (http://www.aynbrand.com) to the Federal Asian Pacific American Council (http://www.fapac.org) an trade association within the US federal government. It was a bit last minute, so I cribbed much of it from previous presentations. The Q&A went especially well since a group of young submarine naval officers really called me out on a lot of my assumptions.TRANSCRIPT
