About Rita

Thought Sparks with Rita McGrath and Whitney Johnson

Season #1 Episode #16

How do you go from a newly-minted music degree to a secretarial position to becoming one of the leading analysts on Wall Street to co-founding one of the most successful boutique investment firms of all time to running your own business and being ranked as a top thinker by #Thinkers50​? Not to mention writing best-selling books?  My #FridayFiresideChat​ guest Whitney Johnson would say that it is the happy result of moving from S curve to S curve in your own life! We had a far-ranging conversation, including her "aha" discovery that @Clayton Christensen's theory of disruption could apply at a personal level.  And we even slipped Lady Gaga and Madonna in on the conversation.  Special note for those interested in #womeninleadership​ - we touch on a few themes relevant to that topic as well.  Have a look!
