Dr. Laura Huang: ...that 'be yourself' is bad advice

What factors determine our success? How can our paths to success be made a little easier? Our guest on this episode, Harvard Business School Professor Laura Huang, has spent a great deal of time researching that question and writing about it in the new book, Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage. In this interview, she explains what to do if you don't have a good natural edge or gut feel. She says we can turn that adversity into advantage, and tells us how.
