Why Business Leaders Should Solve Problems Beyond Their Companies

Rosabeth Moss Kanter, professor at Harvard Business School, believes the world demands a new kind of business leader. She says so-called “advanced leaders” work inside and outside their companies to tackle big issues such as climate change, public health, and social inequality. She gives real-life examples and explains how business leaders can harness their experience, networks, innovative approaches, and the power of their organizations to solve challenging problems. Kanter is the author of the book “Think Outside the Building: How Advanced Leaders Can Change the World One Small Innovation at a Time.”
