Turn breakthrough ideas into real results at the virtual HBR Innovation Summit on November 12th with top CEOs and master classes on AI and growth. HBR executive subscribers attend free, with exclusive programming November 13th. Learn more at hbr.org slash innovation summit. I'm Allison Beard, Executive Editor at Harvard Business Review. And I'm Adi Ignatius, HBR editor at large.

And this is the HBR Idea Cast, where we give you insights and inspiration to make you a better leader. Now, Adi, I have been hosting the show for nearly seven years now and you've popped in on occasion, but let me officially welcome you as a new co-host. Yeah, well, thank you. I'm really excited to be part of this and very happy to be your co-host.

I am thrilled that you're going to be bringing four decades of expertise and knowledge to the Ideacast audience. You spent the last 16 years as editor-in-chief of HBR and now as editor at large, you are not only hosting the show with me, but also launching a new subscription offer for the C-suite called HBR Executive. I'm very excited about that. Listeners will hear more from us about HBR executive before long, but it's hard at the top. We know that.
