Harvard Business School has a fine tradition—each 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 in the valuable life and leadership lessons from 15 professors. These lessons may be amusing anecdotes, touching stories, or reflections on challenges, achievements, and mistakes; they may be casual and engaging conversations. But no matter the content, these professors and business experts, who have nurtured countless young students and corporate elites, all offer their insights on the same theme: How can a leader create a better life?
Remember Who You Are offers the right mindset and practical advice for those seeking career success and a fulfilling life, hoping to use their leadership to change the world. Whether we are just starting 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 inspire you to understand the essence of leadership, the value of success, and the meaning of life.
