Two New Video Series Reveal Key Business Insights From Very Different Sources
The world is full of wisdom that can help guide us through these turbulent times, if we just know where to find it.
The Yaffe Digital Media Initiative at the Ross School of Business is showcasing valuable lessons that can be found through different sources in two new video series. The series will feature leading experts from various industries, including hip-hop.
In the newly launched “This One Thing” series, leaders who are driving change in their industry answer this critical question: “Of all the things written, discussed, and professed about your industry, what’s the one thing people should know if they are interested in navigating the disruption in your field?”
