Cultivating Next-Generation Leaders

Jensen Huang, NVIDIA

NVIDIA Co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang reports that most of his time on the job is spent brainstorming with managers and leaders and helping them brainstorm through tasks and opportunities. He believes it is essential to train talent to effectively control a different product line, a new geography, or even to take his place. Succession planning of a closed set of hand-picked individuals is a toxic process, says Huang. It’s best to treat all employees as a next generation of leaders to build a better environment and long term stability.
