The Forty Year Career
The Silicon Valley narrative centers on entrepreneurial protagonists who are poised one predestined step away from changing the world. A decade ago they were heroes, and more recently they’ve become villains, but either way they are absolutely the protagonists. Working within.
Why we picked it
Moving attention away from Silicon Valley's heroic founder narrative opens space to think seriously about a long career inside organisations.
