We have many responsibilities as leaders. One of the most important responsibilities is keeping an eye on the financials. From monitoring project budgets to reviewing income statements, we know that everything in business comes with a cost, especially when the goal is to add value.
Imagine what our organizations could achieve if every individual at every level was taught to think about the value they add and how it contributes to the bottom line.
This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Herschberg, a professor at MIT, author of The Career Toolkit, and creator of the Brain Bump app, about why we should intentionally instruct our teams about the business. From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name. He also helped to start MIT’s Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, dubbed their “career success accelerator.”
On this episode of Best Places to Lead, I talked with Mark about:
– Everyday opportunities to upskill your entire organization.
– Ways to get everyone thinking about the value they can generate.
– Practical lessons from the tech world that apply in any industry.
