Risk and Reward: AI, Leadership, and Organizational Growth with Bruce Stillman
Bruce is president and CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. He’s led this distinguished organization by wholeheartedly expressing his belief in what the company stands for. He says, “I think if you believe in the mission we have, which I do, then it’s easy to pitch the mission, and if you pitch the mission right, then people can buy into it.”
“I was thirty-eight at the time,” he says. “And I got plucked out of the faculty here to become assistant director and, ultimately, director…I had no experience in running anything. But I knew the culture of the lab, the organization, and I think that was the most important thing that I’ve carried forward.”
