Book Club with the Young Professionals – No Bullsh*t Leadership

Sharpen your leadership skills with the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals at our next book club meeting! This month, we’re reading No Bullsh*t Leadership by Chris Hirst.

Hirst has spent more than a decade in CEO roles, including as Global CEO of Havas Creative Network. Drawing on that experience, he makes a simple argument: leadership isn’t a club for elites or a title handed out with an expensive degree. It’s a practical skill anyone can learn, and it comes down to getting things done and making things better.

The book is a step-by-step working manual built on a no-nonsense premise: skip the consultants, the grand visions, and the mission statements. It offers principles and actionable steps that apply whether you’re running a small business, leading a community initiative, coaching a team, or managing inside a large organization.

For YP members stepping into their first management role, leading projects without formal authority, or wanting to be more effective in how they show up for their teams, this discussion is built for you. Come ready to talk about what leadership looks like when you strip out the buzzwords, and which of Hirst’s ideas you can put to work the next day.

Join us for real discussion and exceptional networking with ambitious, like-minded professionals who are serious about growth. Everyone is welcome, whether you finish the book or just want to be part of the conversation.
