The Campfire Principle: Why Leadership Is an Oral Tradition

Long before there were leadership seminars, there were campfires. The best leadership wisdom rarely arrives in a slide deck. It comes from a mentor who told you the truth at the right moment, a grandmother's story you didn't understand until years later, a colleague who said the thing nobody else would say. This panel traces how that knowledge actually moves: person to person, generation to generation, story by story. Join our panelists as they explore the book's origins and what they reveal about the oldest way wisdom has ever traveled. Panel Members
