HBR On Leadership

NVIDIA’s CEO on Leading Through the A.I. Revolution


Listen Later

With the explosive growth of generative AI, businesses are beginning to integrate artificial intelligence into all aspects of their operations, products, and services. This shift is posing a particularly difficult challenge for leaders, who must quickly learn enough about this new technology to make sound decisions for their companies, in the short- and long-term.

One key player in this transition is NVIDIA, the AI-driven computing company, which makes both hardware and software for a range of industries.

In this episode, NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang discusses how he leads his company in the face of accelerating change with Harvard Business Review editor-in-chief Adi Ignatius. Huang explains why he thinks flat organizations are better at innovation and why his leadership team still operates as if NVIDIA were about to go bankrupt.

This is the third episode in a special series highlighting the four best leadership episodes of 2023, curated from across Harvard Business Review’s podcasts.
