Your Projects Are Your Future

Senior editor Paige Cohen with Adi Ignatius Sasha Patkin
Before coming to HBR, I spent a dozen years as an editor at Time, the iconic newsmagazine. We published weekly, and the fast pace seemed to encourage short-term thinking. Almost everyone at the organization worked primarily on that week’s issue, even as new competitors (which were primarily digital) began chipping away at our economic model. Time has survived, but it’s far smaller than it once was, and its competition remains fierce.
