SUMMARY:Author Event: Former United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz
DESCRIPTION:Former United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz will discuss his new book Turnaround Time with CBS 2 News Anchor Joe Donlon.  \nGo behind the scenes with the CEO who led United Airlines’ remarkable turnaround. \nAround the world and around the clock\, the people of United Airlines are locked in a struggle against time to ensure your aircraft lands and takes off for another flight safely and efficiently. This “turnaround time” is the heartbeat of an industry in which the margin for error is nil and success is measured by fractions of a second. \nIn 2015\, when Oscar Munoz took the helm of this iconic brand\, its culture was anything but united and its reputation was in free fall. A merger with its onetime rival Continental had stalled\, operational and financial performance was badly trailing those of its competitors\, and the bonds of trust with shareholders\, customers\, and employees had reached a breaking point. \nWith candor\, humor\, and heartfelt wisdom\, Oscar reveals how he rose from humble immigrant origins to lead United Airlines through one of modern business’s greatest corporate turnarounds. He offers soulful\, much-needed leadership lessons for today’s world: listening with empathy\, standing up for employees\, building durable cultures that are profitable because they’re principled\, and advancing a vision for a genuinely inclusive economy for the future. \nThe event begins with an 11:30 a.m. reception and book signing followed by lunch and the program at noon. Books will be available for purchase. The price is $40 per person plus applicable Eventbrite processing fees and taxes. \nTickets: http://bit.ly/3MyJE0b \nDress code: Business Casual
