One of America’s brightest minds, and humble hearts, both reside in the human frame of a guy named Clay Christensen. Christensen is a chaired professor at the Harvard Business School. He also a distinguished author and consultant on the topic of disruptive innovation. His books, The Innovator’s Dilemma and The Innovator’s Solution are international best sellers. Significantly, Christensen is also consistently voted one of the best-loved teachers by students at the B-School. He is a deeply religious man who has risen to the pinnacle of a very competitive and demanding profession.
Two years ago, Christensen encountered his own mortality with three serious health challenges, each coming one after the other in a sequence that almost killed him. Long story short, he was asked by the class of 2010 to deliver the commencement address to them on the application of his theories not to their careers, but to their personal lives, which he did. His speech, entitled “How Do You Measure Your Life?” has been reprinted as an article in the Harvard Business Review and has become an instant classic.
