Why Hiring 'Rebel Talent' Is the Best Way to Grow Your Business, According to a Harvard Professor - Inc
If you're like most leaders, you want your company to grow faster and to have fun doing it. What might surprise you is that the youngest professor ever to win full tenure at Harvard Business School says you can achieve these twin aims simultaneously.
The professor in question is Francesca Gino, the Tandon Family Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Her book Rebel Talent is among 2018's best business books. Gino's basic premise is that rebels -- people who consciously don't follow the rules, or have great difficulty doing so -- are good for business.
