Moderated by CNBC Technology Correspondent Seema Mody, this conversation with Professor Linda Hill of Harvard Business School connects big-picture leadership frameworks to the realities executives face now: navigating uncertainty, unlocking diverse perspectives, and creating the conditions where innovation can drive impact.
