Perfect question to end the @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 day from @weslynneashton: "What do you want to be remembered for?"

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

In our final masterclass @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 @weslynneashton @illinoistech shares examples of circular economy ideas in practice: materials (sargassum-based fuel), business models (a platform for reusing equipment), collaboration/governance (public-private farming).

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

I meant final executive speaker! One more masterclass still to come!

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

Final speaker of @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 is @elfcosmetics CEO Tarang Amin explaining how the company cultivates a collaborative culture that allows it to compete against industry giants. (Note: a diverse workforce and constructive feedback are key!)

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

Such an honor to talk to @NBCUniversal vicechair Bonnie Hammer, a hero to all women in media, at @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 today. Her new book (not published by us so no conflict of interest!) is a must-read for any aspiring leader. https://t.co/ZEwyq61vW4

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

Second half of @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 starts with the wonderful @HerminiaIbarra discussing the path to a more meaningful career in a three-step cycle: experiments and projects, new networks, time & space to reflect

"We're big enough that we can do anything, but we're not big enough that we can do everything," which means making conscious decisions about what new technology to build and own (i.e. software) and what to buy, says @volvocars CEO Jim Rowan @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

I loved working with @MichaelDWatkins on this piece https://t.co/Om5ZP9H4eL drawn from his new book on strategic thinking and am delighted that he agreed to present the ideas at @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 today!

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

Learned so much from @AdvocateAurora CEO Eugene Woods about how to improve U.S. healthcare with better technology, talent management, and policy change and why we all need a "connect-to-purpose" moment each day. Thanks for the @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 interview, Gene!

[Alison Beard @alisonwbeard]

Thanks @vgovindarajan for a terrific @HarvardBiz #Leaders2024 masterclass on the next phase of digital transformation in the industrial sector.

How’s Biden’s presidency actually doing? @opinion columnists crunch the numbers. I especially like the health care chart of @lisamjarvis https://t.co/ZUFONPxrAj
