“Yalnızlık bir başarı ölçütü değildir” diyor Prof. Dr. Serdar Ceylaner. Bu konuşma, genetik biliminin ötesinde, insan olmanın, birlikte başarmanın ve içsel liderliğin gerçek anlamını sorgulayan bir yolculuk. Sadece başarıya ulaşmanın değil, onu nasıl ve kimlerle başardığımızın da önemli olduğunu savunan Profesör; ego, empati, yankı odaları ve dürüstlük gibi kavramları sahici örneklerle harmanlıyor.
