Description

A fresh voice on leadership--and a senior leader at one of the world’s largest communications networks --reveals that success comes by focusing on the journey, not just the destination.

Elise Mitchell founded Mitchell Communications as a boutique communications agency in 1995. From modest beginnings in a little-known market, she led the agency to grow more than 500 percent in five years. In 2012, Dentsu Inc., the world’s largest advertising agency, bought the company, retaining Mitchell as CEO and also elevating her to the role of CEO for Dentsu’s public relations network.

Drawn from Elise’s extensive experience, Leading through the Turn reveals her hard-won lessons for achieving success while enjoying the journey along the way. Her refreshing approach to leadership is revealed through first-hand stories from her rise to the top and interviews with well-known leaders, as well as stories from Elise’s motorcycle trips around the world.

• Includes intimate interviews with Mike Duke, former CEO of Walmart; Wendy Davidson, president, Kellogg’s Specialty Channels; Harold Korell, former CEO of Southwestern Energy; and other top global executives.

• Each chapter includes a summary of key learnings and reflection questions to help readers apply insights to their own leadership journey

• Mitchell’s agency has been ranked twice on the Inc. 500/5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America, as well on the 50 Fastest-Growing Women Owned/Led Companies by Women Presidents’ Organization and American Express OPEN.
