Intuit CEO Brad Smith on their Most Unlikely Partner
BusinessWeek‘s Reena Jana interviewed Intuit‘s CEO, Brad Smith in June. Here’s the full interview.
Reena posed the question: “What is the most unlikely external organization you’ve ever worked with.”
His answer started out with the old standards: customers, partners, best practices…
But then he lit up and talked about a terrific new service solving a big problem for students that Intuit started as a result of Brad meeting with Marshall University. Check out what they came up with at 4 minutes, 20 seconds into the interview.
I’m going to start asking this question to more leaders: “What is the most unlikely external organization you’ve ever worked with.” And I hope more and more answers involve finding those external connections not only from personal relationships of executives but through third-party relationships of people throughout their organization.
