Darius Teter: Okay. We’re rolling. We’re good. Okay.

I’m Darius Teter, host of Grit and Growth from Stanford Graduate School of Business. In season one, we heard from entrepreneurs and business leaders throughout Africa and South Asia on everything from family succession to crisis management. But these parts of the world are exploding with opportunity, and we’ve barely scratched the surface. So we’re back with a whole new season of entrepreneurs and experts. And we’re tackling even bigger topics.

Deborah Gruenfeld: Power and powerlessness

Margaret Neale: Negotiation

Alexey Volynets: Corporate governance

Hakeem Belo-Osagie: Regulation

Darius Teter: We’re also talking about women in business, design thinking, staff engagement and retention, corruption, and tons more. And the stakes are higher than ever.

Charles Yeboah: I said, you know what? The deal is off.

Deborah Gruenfeld: It is very threatening to the people in charge.

Hakeem Belo-Osagie: The workers and some of the management had taken over the head office building and locked us out.

Aashish Agarwaal: That buy-in has to be there. Otherwise it’s doomed to fail.

Darius Teter: So join us every other Tuesday as we explore the unique challenges of building businesses in emerging markets and hear from entrepreneurs who are conquering those challenges every day, along with insights from Stanford Business School faculty. This is season two of Grit and Growth.
