The Forum Club of the Palm Beaches’ Jan. 24 meeting featured Alan Mulally, former CEO of Boeing and Ford, as a guest speaker. In a moderated session, Mulally answered questions from the audience, which included staffers on The Muse who attended the event. 

The Forum Club is a non-profit organization that aims to “inform and educate the community’s social, business and political interest” according to its website. The group regularly hosts speakers at the Kravis Center and occasionally invites Dreyfoos students to their luncheons. 

Mulally spoke about “Working Together,” the workplace strategy he developed and implemented at both companies he led. The strategy focuses on creating a compelling plan focused on open communication and preparing for problems that might arise during leadership.

“Expect the unexpected and deal with it in a positive way,” Mulally said at the event. “In this rapidly changing world, this is absolutely the answer to everything.”
