Adam Bryant recently retired from the Corner Office column after 10 years on the post. Fans of this podcast know we use many of his articles as jumping off points for many of our podcasts. To commemorate his 10 years of studying business leaders, Bryant published a long-from piece in the New York Times for his final article. It was entitled, “How to be the Big Boss-Lessons form a Decade of Interviewing CEOs”. As a tribute to Bryant, Richard Lummis and I will explore many of the lessons Bryant has drawn. In this first podcast we discuss three keys that Bryant has observed: (1) applied curiosity; (2) enjoying discomfort; and (3) career management.
