The Good Governance Academy

We asked our guest speaker, Michael Gips:
“What is the single most important takeaway you hope attendees will leave with about leadership and security risk?”

His answer was simple:
“Leadership begins where the manual ends.”

Tomorrow, Michael joins Professor Sezer Bozkus Kahyaoglu for a practical conversation about asking better questions, building trust before it is tested, and making sound decisions when there are no perfect options.

Join us for It’s Not in the Manual: Real-World Leadership for Security and Risk Professionals.
