Mindset, Mosquitoes, and Making Millions — A Masterclass with Professor A.J. Strickland


Listen Later

In this episode of HUMHR Career Insights, host Batje Chibafa reconnects with Professor A.J. “Lonnie” Strickland, one of the world’s most respected educators in strategic management and co-author of the global classic Crafting & Executing Strategy: The Quest for Competitive Advantage.

More than a decade after hosting him at a live strategic management seminar, Batje sits down once again, this time through the power of technology, to explore timeless insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, and strategy in a changing world.

With his trademark humor and deep wisdom, Professor Strickland reflects on his time in Zimbabwe, where he says that “if we could bottle Zimbabwe’s weather and sell it, we’d all be rich!”  

He draws powerful lessons from nature (even a mosquito has strategy), talks about avocados and entrepreneurship, and explores what it means to build a life of impact, generosity, and purpose.

Tune in for a masterclass in storytelling and strategy from a professor who has inspired thousands of leaders across five decades.
