A Beginning

December 13, 2010 by Zeynep Ton

I am writing this blog to start a conversation around several themes.  

The first theme is around my research interests in operations and labor management.  I have written extensively about retail operations and just started working on a book that argues for a better way for managing retail stores. 

The second theme is around community impact.  Through this blog, I want to start a conversation about what young leaders can do to maximize their impact on the world.  I am very proud of a new initiative we started at HBS this year. Both HARBUS and Harvard Crimson wrote about the initiative. 

The third theme is teaching. It is something I do with absolute joy. I am hoping to connect with educators on how to improve teaching and connect with my former and current students.

The final, and most important theme is family.  With two young children, I have the same challenges that many other working moms have.  So I look forward to sharing these and learning about yours!
