Success Can Block Innovation and Growth

Success Can Inhibit Innovation and Growth 10 Aug 2023 --- Changing yourself in the job, especially if you're doing well, is one of the hardest things to do. The same goes for companies: today's success can be dangerous if it stifles the urge to innovate and reach for tomorrow's opportunities. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with former chairman and CEO of Dow Chemical Andrew Liveris, who shares what he learned when he took over the helm at a massively successful operation that was also set in its ways. 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.
