Summary
Details

What happens when you're thrust into leadership before you feel ready?

When Susan E. Dawson received a surprising promotion just three years into her career, she faced a pivotal decision: simply survive-or truly thrive. Choosing the latter launched a remarkable forty-year leadership journey that would transform organizations, careers, and lives.

In Growing Into Leadership: Lessons Learned Along the Way, Dawson shares real-world stories and hard-earned insights from her decades in healthcare and laboratory science. With warmth, honesty, and practical wisdom, she explores how authentic leadership goes beyond formulas, revealing how innovation, empathy, and strong relationships shape lasting impact.

Through captivating storytelling, she reveals how she built high-performing teams, navigated C-suite dynamics with integrity, and created environments where excellence flourished. Her experiences speak directly to those facing real-life leadership challenges, from the front lines to the executive boardroom.

Unlike traditional leadership manuals, this book offers actionable, battle-tested insights for professionals at every level. Whether you're a seasoned executive, a newly promoted manager, or an aspiring leader, Dawson's journey will inspire you to lead with purpose, resilience, and authenticity.

""This insightful and inspirational book is a guide to help others find their footing in an age of challenges that will require the next generation to be agile, adept, and take calculated risks-a worthy read for both aspiring and established leaders.""

- Alexander A. Socarrás, Group CEO, BBI Solutions
