This is a Closer Look at John Hennessy. He is the chairman of Alphabet, the parent company of Google and he has a long career of achievements in computer science and engineering, and too many awards to list here. He is one of the longest-serving presidents in Stanford University history with a 16-year tenure, having first joined the faculty in 1977. He stepped down in 2016 to start the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program. John Hennessy joins former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt talk about his new book, “Leading Matters,” where he shares the core elements of leadership that helped him become a successful tech entrepreneur, and nonprofit administrator.
