After 40 years at Harvard Business School, business strategist/entrepreneur Howard Stevenson has helped to shape a lot of today's business leaders, including Axcess Worldwide cofounder and president Sinoway. Here Sinoway sums up a lifetime of learning from his mentor.
An iconic teacher. A warm friend. A generous mentor. For more than 40 years, Howard Stevenson has been a towering figure at Harvard Business School: the man who literally defined entrepreneurship and taught thousands of the world¿s most successful professionals. Now amp;mdash; spurred by Stevenson¿s heart-stopping brush with death amp;mdash; his student, colleague, and dear friend Eric Sinoway shares the man¿s wisdom and inspiration.
Through warm and engaging conversations, we hear Howard¿s timeless and practical lessons on pursuing success and fulfillment, beginning with:
- Creating a vision of your own legacy through a process called "business planning for life".
- Being entrepreneurial in driving your career ahead (even if you¿re not an entrepreneur).
- Exploiting the inflection points in your life - whether "friend", "foe", or "silent".
- Cutting risk in tough career and life decisions by shining the "light of predictability" on them.
- Planning for the ripples, not just the splash from your actions and choices.
Listening to Howard¿s Gift is like having a wise, caring friend sit down and say, "let¿s figure all this out together."
