Episode notes

As a CEO, it is crucial to invest in initiatives that will bear fruit three to 10 years down the line. This long-term vision distinguishes a refounder CEO who focuses on building the future company rather than short-term gains. The CEO's mission should align with the organization to drive success, which is often overlooked in MBA programs. Education can be a powerful component of a company's mission, exemplified by the strategic focus on education by certain refounding CEOs like Jeff and Satya.

Reid Hoffman thinks visionary leaders should pursue a "re-founder" state of mind. In this episode he welcomes the newest host of Masters of Scale, Jeff Berman, for a dialogue that digs into a re-founder's mission: evolving an organization while staying true to core values. As the re-founder of WaitWhat, the media company that brings this podcast to life, Jeff explores with Reid their own experiences with leadership succession. And they draw on re-founding insight from all-stars like Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi, and Yahoo's Marissa Mayer. So reset the clock to Day 0 – because it's always a prime time for a reboot!
