Leadership in the Shadows: Lessons from the Frontlines of Intelligence
America’s intelligence professionals are the true quiet professionals, operating clandestinely and covertly to ensure America’s security around the world. Success in this world requires focus, determination, dedication, and, above all, leadership. For more than two decades, Marc Polymeropoulos’ career has been making life and death decisions under extremely high-stress circumstances while serving as an officer in the CIA. In his new book, Clarity in Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the CIA (HarperCollins Leadership, June 8, 2021), Polymeropoulos shares the stories behind some of the most important operations in the Middle East of which he was a part and the kind of leadership that allowed them to succeed. Polymeropoulos will discuss his thoughts on leadership, the state of the Intelligence Community, baseball, and current affairs.
