Without Looking Over Her Sho https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ahead-of-the-curve-how-ceo-and-chief-content-officer-stephanie-mehta-achieves-success-at-fast-company-and-inc-without-looking-over-her-sho--67319565 What are the rules in today’s workplace? Who better to ask than Stephanie Mehta, CEO and Chief Content Officer of Mansueto Ventures — home of the two brands that, one could argue, created the notion of the Future of Work. Still relevant to this day are what were then considered "the New Rules of Business," emblazoned on the premier issue of Fast Company. The rules were simple: Work is Personal. Computing is Social. Knowledge is Power. The last line invited a challenge that many have taken on — and continue to: Break the Rules. During our time together, we cover a lot — from leading a multigenerational team to the Ignition Schools ranking (a joint project between Fast Company and Inc. capturing the potential of academic institutions serving as economic multipliers), how lateral career moves are okay as long as you are learning, and insights on some of the biggest myths that entrepreneurs — and perhaps leaders — tell themselves.
