Harvard Business School has a fine tradition: every professor shares their life story in the last class of their course as a special gift to their students. This book is a collection of these special "gifts." In other words, through this book, you can easily enter a Harvard classroom and share the valuable insights on life and leadership with 15 professors. These insights may be amusing anecdotes, touching stories, or reflections on challenges, achievements, and mistakes; they may be casual and relaxed conversations. But no matter the content, these professors and business experts, who have nurtured thousands of young students and corporate elites, all offer their wisdom on the same theme: how to create a better life as a leader.
Remember Who You Are offers the right mindset and specific advice for those seeking career success and a better life, hoping to change the world with their leadership. Whether we are just starting out in our careers or hold high positions, some more important and fundamental questions can only be answered by ourselves. This book is composed of four parts: Knowing Yourself, Managing Yourself, Leading Others, and Building Values. It can guide and encourage you to understand the essence of leadership, the value of success, and the meaning of life.
