Sabrina Horn knows what it means to succeed in the harsh world of business leadership. She would tell you herself she has made no shortage of mistakes and failures. The best-selling author and current CEO of HORN Strategy arrived in Silicon Valley in the early 90s, founding the PR firm Horn Group, which Finn Partners acquired in 2015. Under Sabrina’s leadership, Horn Group grew to national renown: all the more impressive considering she came to Silicon Valley with only $500 in starting funds. Her journey as a leader has prompted Sabrina to realize the necessity of being humble, caring, and honest in the world of startups, even during financially strenuous times. This idea is the subject of her hot book, “Make It, Don’t Fake It: Leading with Authenticity for Real Business Success.” Tune in as Sabrina joins Buday TLP’s Alan Alper to go over the principles and frameworks of her book, her perspective on thought leadership, and other lessons she has learned throughout her impressive career.
