  Twitch CEO on the Future of the Creator Economy - and the Challenge to Keep the Platform Safe 24.09.2026 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. 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.

  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. You may know Sarah for her viral lip-syncing TikToks during the pandemic. But before that, she worked as a designer at big tech companies – like Yahoo and Google. 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. Plus, they answer your office etiquette questions. Have a career question? Let us know at [email protected].

  What Constitutes a Great Leader? 24.09.2026 9min

  What Makes a Great Leader? 20 Sep 2022 --- Today, it’s less about getting people to follow you to the future, more about getting them to co-create it with you. Harvard Business School’s Linda A. Hill, co-author of “Collective Genius”, spells out the new ABCs for leading innovation. 00:00 When organizations can’t innovate, it’s because they don’t have the right leadership. 01:06 The new ABCs of leadership: Architect, Bridger, and Catalyst 01:28 A: Architect: Build your company’s culture and capabilities for innovation. 02:12 B: Bridger: Forge partnerships outside your organization. 03:11 C: Catalyst: Accelerate co-creation across the entire ecosystem. 04:15 Real-world example: Pfizer turns vendors into partners. 05:18 These roles require new ways of thinking about power.

  Why Cybersecurity Isn't Solely a Tech Problem | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 24.09.2026 34min

  Why Cybersecurity Isn’t Only a Tech Problem | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 20 Dec 2022 --- Thomas Parenty and Jack Domet, cofounders of the cybersecurity firm Archefact Group, say that most organizations are approaching cybersecurity all wrong. Whether they’re running small companies or working in multinational corporations, leaders have to think beyond their IT department and technology systems to instead focus on protecting their businesses’ most important assets from attack. They need to work across functions and geographies to identify key risks, imagine potential threats and adversaries, and develop a plan for combating them. Parenty and Domet are the authors of the HBR article “Sizing up your Cyber Risks,” as well as the HBR Press book, A Leader’s Guide to Cybersecurity.

  6 Ways to Look More Confident During a Presentation 24.09.2026 5min

  6 Ways to Look More Confident During a Presentation 13 Jun 2022 --- Research says using these 6 persuasive body-language positions during a talk can lead to success. CHAPTERS 00:00 Your ideas are important–but so is your body language. 00:47 Position 1: The box 01:10 Position 2: Holding the ball 01:25 Position 3: Pyramid hands 01:52 Position 4: Wide stance 02:05 Position 5: Palms up 02:22 Position 6: Palms down The next time you give a presentation, try to have it recorded, then review the video with the sound off, watching only your body language. How did you stand and gesture? Did you use any of these positions? If not, think about how you might do so the next time you’re in front of an audience, or even just speaking to your boss or a big client. Practice in front of a mirror, then with friends, until they feel natural. Non-verbal communication won’t necessarily make or break you as a leader, but it might help you achieve more successful outcomes.

  What is Web3? 24.09.2026 4min

  What is Web3? 12 May 2022 --- Web3 promises to make the internet more decentralized and democratic — but there are lots of unknowns that could cloud that utopian vision. 00:00 The future of the Internet is here! Or ... it might be? 00:10 Web 1.0 was read-only. 00:23 Web 2.0 was read/write. 00:52 Web3 promises to be read/write/own. 01:20 Examples 02:15 Web3 isn't inevitable, however. And there are some red flags. Read more about Web3 at HBR.org: https://hbr.org/2022/05/what-is-web3 Web3 is being touted as the future of the internet. The vision for this new, blockchain-based web includes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DAOs, decentralized finance, and more. It offers a read/write/own version of the web, in which users have a financial stake in and more control over the web communities they belong to. Web3 promises to transform the experience of being online as dramatically as PCs and smartphones did. It is not, however, without risk. Some companies have entered the space only to face a backlash over the environmental impact and financial speculation (and potential for fraud) that comes with Web3 projects. And while blockchain is offered as a solution to privacy, centralization, and financial exclusion concerns, it has created new versions of many of these problems. Companies need to consider both the risks and the benefits before diving in.

  What It Means to Be a Conscientious Leader 24.09.2026 43min

  What It Means to Be a Moral Leader 22 Sep 2023 --- Remember when leaders could sidestep taking a stand on sensitive political or societal issues by saying, “The business of business is business”? That aloof neutrality no longer works, says Dov Seidman, founder and chairman of The HOW Institute for Society. “I think the business of business is society,” he says. “It's community, and how we relate to whatever comes our way and how thoughtfully and principled we are.” A leader standing up for what’s right is the new expectation of employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Not to mention relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table. As AI ramps up and challenges humans’ monopoly on intelligence, purely human skills like moral judgment and empathy become even more crucial for leaders. While machines can be taught to do things right, Seidman says, only people can lead others to do the right things. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Seidman, who’s also the author of How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything, to discuss: • How to let your principles guide you as a leader • The importance of taking a pause in order to reflect on, reconnect with, rethink, and reimagine your mission • Which human traits and abilities will grow in value as AI grows in raw intelligence 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.

  The Explainer: Cerulean Ocean Strategy 24.09.2026 4min

  The Explainer: Blue Ocean Strategy 16 Jul 2019 --- When you break the bounds of existing industries, competition becomes irrelevant. The business universe consists of two distinct kinds of space, which we think of as red and blue oceans. Red oceans represent all the industries in existence today—the known market space. In red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are well understood. Here, companies try to outperform their rivals in order to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the space gets more and more crowded, prospects for profits and growth are reduced. Products turn into commodities, and increasing competition turns the water bloody. Blue oceans denote all the industries not in existence today—the unknown market space, untainted by competition. In blue oceans, demand is created rather than fought over. There is ample opportunity for growth that is both profitable and rapid. There are two ways to create blue oceans. In a few cases, companies can give rise to completely new industries, as eBay did with the online auction industry. But in most cases, a blue ocean is created from within a red ocean when a company alters the boundaries of an existing industry. This is what Cirque du Soleil did. In breaking through the boundary traditionally separating circus and theater, it made a new and profitable blue ocean from within the red ocean of the circus industry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.

  How to Control Your Emotions During a Difficult Conversation: The Harvard Business Review Guide 24.09.2026 9min

  How to Control Your Emotions During a Difficult Conversation: The Harvard Business Review Guide 2 Mar 2022 --- When you’re in the middle of a conflict, it’s common to automatically enter a “fight or flight” mentality. But it’s possible to interrupt this response and clear a path towards a more productive discussion. 00:00 Have you ever lost control during a heated argument at work? 00:28 Emotions are a chemical response to a difficult situation. 01:35 To stay calm, first acknowledge and label your feelings. 02:25 Next, focus on your body. 03:32 Use visualizations. 04:19 Focus on your breath. 04:52 Repeat a calming phrase or mantra. 05:08 Ok. Let’s review. Start by taking a deep breath and focusing on your body. Repeat a mantra to yourself such as “This isn’t about me,” “This will pass,” or “This is about the business.” And try to distance yourself from the negative emotion you’re feeling by labeling it: “He is so wrong about that and it’s making me mad becomes I’m having the thought that my coworker is wrong, and I’m feeling anger.” And don’t forget the value of taking a break. The more time you give yourself to process your emotions, the less intense they are likely to be.
