Preventing Organizational Inertia

Marc Tessier-Lavigne, Stanford University

Drawing from his leadership experiences in industry, Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne explains how bureaucracy can stifle entrepreneurial fervor in large organizations. He gives an example from his time at Genentech, where meetings needed to have a clear goal and decision-maker. He also points to the importance of maintaining a culture of discovery and publication.
