Come hear Dr. Deborah Dunsire, MD, President and CEO, Millennium, The Takeda Oncology Company, in a provocative session entitled, “Defining Leadership in a Time of Change.”. Dr. Dunsire is also this year’s HBA Woman of the Year.. Dr. Dunsire joined Millennium in July 2005, as its President and CEO, and led the company through its growth into a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative medicines to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases. Dr. Dunsire presided over Millennium’s acquisition by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company in May 2008, and was instrumental in the successful transition of the company to becoming Takeda’s global center of excellence in oncology.
Steve Farber, will lead one of the plenary sessions which promises to offer practical tools and experiences to apply to our professional lives. Steve Farber, author of The Radical Leap: Extreme Leadership at Work and Beyond. In this chaotic and extreme age, business leaders must demonstrate an unprecedented level of passion, determination, foresight, dedication and fearlessness. As an Extreme Leader, you need the ability to influence, the power to transform and the courage to change the world of your company, your customers and your industry. In The Radical Leap program, Steve shows you how to use the LEAP framework—Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof—to do just that—and radically improve your organization and your life. He'll also be sharing ideas from his newest book, Greater Than Yourself, which will be given out to all attendees.
