Win or Die – Lessons for Life from the Game of Thrones
Have you ever watched the Game and Thrones and strategised about the bold moves you’d make in this bloody, volatile world—from the comfort of your living room? My guest Bruce Craven the author of Win or Die: Leadership Secrets from Game of Thrones was so inspired he wrote a fascinating book. And he says one of the great terrors of being a leader is knowing your real world can be just as brutal—and offices bring no comfort. Every day you’re presented with opportunities and challenges, and must decide which roads to follow and the risks to confront. And you won’t know whether you’ll profit or fail while you’re in the thick of it. In Win or Die: Leadership Secrets from Game of Thrones, the journeys of the best and worst leaders in Westeros are analysed, so that leaders can create their own narratives of success. Join us as we discuss topics such as how to face conflict and build resilience, develop contextual and emotional intelligence, develop your vision, and more.
