LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman on Innovating for an Uncertain Future
Leaders prove themselves on the hard decisions–not the easy ones.

Summary.
Reid Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn and now partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners, thinks uncertainty and turbulence are just the new normal, but they’re also opportunities for astute innovators to devise a better future. Individual companies can’t–and shouldn’t–try to solve every global problem. But by aligning their core business mission with social purpose, leaders can maximize their positive impact and contribute in concrete, meaningful ways. They must also recognize that, more than finances, more than product, and more than market position, talent is the most important differentiator.
