When Radhika Jones took over Vanity Fair as editor-in-chief, she succeeded a man who had been in the job for 25 years. And taking over a legacy like that isn’t easy — whether you’re EIC or managing a new team at work. You have to explain your vision, win over people who might not agree, learn people’s work styles...all on top of doing your actual job. This week, we asked Radhika how she navigated those early days at VF, and what she wants her legacy to be at the publication.
In this episode, Radhika shares:
- How she learned how to run a business meeting — by working with college kids in the classroom
- How she explained her vision to VF staffers
- When she knew her leadership style was working
- How to navigate working on a new team
