Description
While technology is a key driver of advancement and disruption, technology itself does not produce innovation. It’s the people that make it possible—and the leaders who aren’t afraid to take risks, admit when they’re wrong, and face failure head on. In this episode, host Gautam Mukunda speaks with Josh Wolfe, Founding Partner and Managing Director of Lux Capital and Mike Pell, Envisioneer and Director at the Microsoft Garage in NYC about how leaders should approach and encourage innovation, and lead employees in a technology-driven world. “I like to say that chips on shoulders put chips in pockets, in part because it is often predictive of somebody that is going to be relentless against adversity.” – Josh Wolfe, Founding Partner and Managing Director of Lux Capital “Tech enables amazing, incredible new things we could never do before, but it's always, for me, the people part that is far more interesting and far more powerful.” – Mike Pell, Envisioneer, Director, The Microsoft Garage - NYC Follow @GMukunda on Twitter or email us at [email protected] For more information on this episode’s guest please visit: Nasdaq.com/world-reimagined-podcast
