Morgan Stanley: Mandell Crawley, Chief Human Resources Officer

ProMazo

“Careers aren’t linear—they’re a series of J-curves” is how Mandell Crawley, the CHRO of Morgan Stanley, helped us think through what to expect once we transition to professional life. And we thought it was the perfect analogy because in today’s world you’ve got to be constantly improving.

We’ll also chat about taking smart risks, pushing through the dip, and building stamina for the 3 a.m. doubts. Mandell shares the three must-haves (confidence, managing insecurities, impulse control), his Venn diagram for finding success in business, the four annual gut-check questions—Am I learning? Growing? Having impact? Happy? He also opens up about setback, service, and how growth is the oxygen of a career and yes a series of J-curves.
