The Art of Networking: A Blueprint to Humble Leadership

Meet Richard Edelman, the president and CEO of Edelman Communications, a global marketing firm. Richard’s life was on the right track from an early age. Then, just one month before graduating from Harvard Business School and with a plan to work as an assistant product manager at Playtex, Richard’s father called and asked him to work for the family business. Forty-six years later, Richard is now the proud head of this world-renowned, family-owned business. “I haven't just loved it. I've thrived in it,” he says. While he’s made some mistakes along the way, Richard reminds us that “If you don't try and fail forward, you'll never get ahead.”
