The Toxicity Tax Book Launch and Signing Event
Please join us to celebrate the launch of The Toxicity Tax: Why Dysfunction Costs More Than You Think and How to Break Free by Claire L. Feagley, Ph.D.
We’ll enjoy beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres before gathering for a lively fireside chat about one of the book’s central ideas: culture isn’t “soft”—and overlooking it can carry very real human and financial costs.
Featuring perspectives from both the buy and sell sides of mergers and acquisitions, the conversation will explore why leaders should consider culture before a transaction and weave it into integration planning. Expect a candid, practical discussion— with plenty of real-world insight — about what leaders often miss and what organizations can do differently.
Afterward, stay for conversation, drinks, and a book signing with Claire.
