Chobani Founder Hamdi Ulukaya on the Journey from Closed Factory to Yogurt Powerhouse 05.10.2026 47min

Chobani Founder Hamdi Ulukaya on the Journey from Abandoned Factory to Yogurt Powerhouse 21 Apr 2022 --- Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya has a tale that practically defines the American Dream. Ulukaya, a Kurd, was born in eastern Turkey, where his family owned a small dairy farm. He eventually came to the U.S., and in 2005 came across an abandoned yogurt factory for sale in upstate New York. Ulukaya bought it and hired a small team and to make yogurt that was less sugary and less watery than what was generally produced in the U.S. The product was called Chobani, and it was a hit. Today Chobani is a global player and has more than 20% of the U.S. yogurt market. HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Ulukaya in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • How Chobani has managed to stay true to its original values, even as it massively scaled up and competed in a sector where quality often has to compete with profitability. • What it takes to truly put a company’s people at the center of the corporate mission. • His and Chobani’s role in supporting refugees, through employment—and other—opportunities worldwide. 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, HBR Editor Adi Ignatius 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.

Defining and Adapting Your Leadership Style | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 30 Nov 2022 --- Suzanne Peterson, associate professor at Thunderbird School of Global Management, says many talented professionals get held back from leadership roles because of relatively intangible reasons. She argues aspiring managers can intentionally alter their everyday interactions in small ways to have a large influence on their professional reputation. She explains how to adopt markers of different leadership styles to be seen as both influential and likable. Peterson is a coauthor of the HBR article “How to Develop Your Leadership Style: Concrete Advice for a Squishy Challenge.” (https://hbr.org/2020/11/how-to-develop-your-leadership-style) This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on November 6, 2020.

Is Entrepreneurship Right for Me? | New Here | S1E10 27 Dec 2023 --- Is Entrepreneurship Right for Me? So you’re thinking quitting your full-time job and working for yourself. Or maybe you’ve already decided that the corporate life isn’t for you and you have a passion project that could become a full-fledged business. What do you need to consider before you walk away from your corporate career? Have you thought about the financial risks, how you’ll find community or mentorship, or what your future would look like with less of a roadmap? This week on New Here, we follow Jemma Sbeg as she leaves her successful consulting career to pursue her passion project—her now-hit podcast, The Psychology of your 20s.

Then Elainy and Jemma have a second conversation after Jemma’s been working on her own for five months. You’ll learn which of Jemma’s fears were warranted, how she battled loneliness, managed her money, and whether or not she is actually happier working for herself. Have a career question?

The Explainer: How to Operate as a Disruptor 05.10.2026 3min

The Explainer: How to Be a Disruptor 9 Jul 2019 --- Clay Christensen's landmark theory of disruptive innovation has proved to be a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth. “Disruption” describes a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses. Specifically, as incumbents focus on improving their products and services for their most demanding (and usually most profitable) customers, they exceed the needs of some segments and ignore the needs of others. Entrants that prove disruptive begin by successfully targeting those overlooked segments, gaining a foothold by delivering more-suitable functionality — frequently at a lower price. Incumbents, chasing higher profitability in more-demanding segments, tend not to respond vigorously. Entrants then move upmarket, delivering the performance that incumbents’ mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success. When mainstream customers start adopting the entrants’ offerings in volume, disruption has occurred. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We enlist the foremost experts in a wide range of topics, including career planning, strategy, leadership, work-life balance, negotiations, innovation, and managing teams.

Twitch CEO on the Future of the Creator Economy - and the Challenge to Keep the Platform Safe 05.10.2026 40min

Twitch CEO on the Future of the Creator Economy - and the Challenge to Keep the Platform Safe 19 May 2022 --- Emmett Shear is cofounder and CEO of Twitch, the fast-growing streaming service popular with video gamers, which was purchased eight years ago by Amazon for nearly $1 billion. Emmett is also a part-time partner for the startup accelerator, Y Combinator. Twitch has been in the news recently: It was the platform used by the alleged shooter of 13 people at a Buffalo grocery store to livestream his actions. The company says the stream was removed less than two minutes after the violence started, but, as Shear explained to HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius, “there's obviously still work to be done” to make livestreaming platforms safer. Ignatius sat down with Shear in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • Tactics and strategies for keeping platforms like Twitch free of racist, hateful, and abusive speech. • The present and future of the creator economy, which he says promises to be, for some, a more fulfilling alternative to not just the gig economy, but regular full-time employment. • Monetization, and how it works differently for small creators with 5 followers, and experts with 50,000 followers. • From his time at Y Combinator, the best pieces of advice he’s developed for young startup entrepreneurs. 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.

What Do I Need to Know About Workplace Etiquette? | S1E5 | New Here 22 Nov 2023 --- What Do I Need to Know About Workplace Etiquette? When you’re starting your career, navigating the unwritten rules around to how to behave at work can be really difficult. So how do you learn that etiquette? This week comedian and author Sarah Cooper tells host Elainy Mata how she learned those invisible rules early in her career, why they matter, and which rules she thinks you can bend.

And she didn’t just crack the office etiquette game — she also had some fun with those rules. In fact, Sarah’s early comedy is all about office etiquette – like her satirical article “10 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings.” Sarah and Elainy offer their take on the etiquette of email writing, how to handle yourself in meetings, and when it’s OK to wear your comfy pants to work.

Meanwhile, what gains have been made typically haven’t extended to all women. That’s led to a major gap in gender equality in the United States. How long will it take to close that gap? According to the World Economic Forum, the U.S. is still 208 years away from achieving gender equality at this rate of change. But technologist and philanthropist Melinda Gates believes we currently have a rare opportunity to accelerate this timeline. She has a strategy for accelerating the pace of progress and achieving measurable results by 2030. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
