Description

HP – the company perhaps best known for outfitting homes and businesses across the world with computers and printers – is widely considered the original Silicon Valley tech company. It was founded in a small garage in 1939; at the time it was called Hewlett-Packard. 
Today, HP is run by Enrique Lores, who started at the company as an intern and moved into the corner office about a year ago. 
Leadership Next listeners will not be surprised to learn that he believes HP can benefit both shareholders and stakeholders. Specifically, he talks about how the company has been caring for employees during the pandemic, the need to continue pursuing diversity goals, how HP is working to protect trees and provide kids with computers.  
Also, Lores explains how the pandemic accelerated 3D-printing technology at HP. Check out the episode to discover why co-host Ellen McGirt is particularly excited about this!

Something big is happening in the world of business. CEOs increasingly say their jobs have become less about giving orders, more about inspiring, motivating, setting a north star. They are taking the lead on big issues like climate change, worker retraining, and diversity and inclusion. They are under pressure from employees, customers and investors not just to turn a profit, but to prove they are doing good in the world. And in the process, they are fundamentally redefining the relationship between business and society. Join Fortune CEO Alan Murray and Senior Editor Ellen McGirt as they probe the best of these leaders for insight into what they're doing, why they're doing it, and what impact it is having.
