Success can look impressive on a résumé and still leave you wondering who you really are.
At 76, Harvard Business School professor and former Morgan Stanley executive Thomas DeLong is rethinking some of the biggest lessons he has learned about leadership, courage, relationships, and success.
In this conversation with Chip Conley, he reflects on:
- Why letting go of control can deepen relationships
- How to move from image management to essence
- Why vulnerability is a powerful form of courage
- How inherited success scripts can define the path we follow
- Why later life is about investing wisdom, not just retiring
From family and leadership to identity and aging, DeLong shares the hard-earned lessons that have changed how he sees himself and the people around him.
Watch now for a deeply personal conversation about letting go, finding courage, and defining success on your own terms.
