ActOne Group Founder Janice Bryant Howroyd: Never Compromise Your Values in a Quest to Succeed

ActOne Group Founder Janice Bryant Howroyd: Never Compromise Your Values in a Quest to Succeed 3 Feb 2023 --- Janice Bryant Howroyd founded The ActOne Group in the front of a rug shop in California 45 years ago. Since then, she’s vastly grown the global employment and management company, and she recently made Forbes’ list of the wealthiest self-made women in the US. She's the author several books, including Acting Up: Winning in Business and Life Using Down-Home Wisdom. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, Howroyd sat down with HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius to discuss: • Starting and growing a business from scratch as a Black woman in a sector traditionally dominated by white men. • Recent trends in the employment space as companies seek more flexible models of hiring and retaining top talent. • The importance of staying true to your core values, even as you make the necessary choices to get ahead. “Never compromise who you are personally to become who you wish to be professionally,” she says. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.
