Abstract

Following a successful career as a lawyer, Chief Administrative Officer of Fidelity Investments, and law school instructor, David Weinstein became a 2011 Advanced Leadership Fellow at Harvard University. During his Advanced Leadership Fellowship he conceived an idea to promote opportunities for students to engage in identity exploration and skill development through his venture, Write the World. This online platform provides opportunities for individuals to submit pieces of writing for evaluation and feedback from online reviewers. This case provides an overview of Weinstein's personal and professional experiences, his process in exploring the topic, developing ideas, and recruiting a team to contribute to the product's development. This case may be used for courses related to change management, leadership, social enterprise, and entrepreneurship.
