“We Want to Make Ourselves Better”
The HBR Interview with Bob Sternfels. by Adi Ignatius
From the Magazine (January–February 2026)
Piotr Leśniak
Since becoming McKinsey & Company’s global managing partner in 2021, Bob Sternfels has had to navigate a series of thorny challenges. He has taken steps to restore the consulting firm’s reputation after several scandals, most notably its role in the U.S. opioid crisis. He’s trying to tighten the rules on client selection and governance without alienating the firm’s partners. And to set McKinsey up for the AI era, he and his partners are driving an organizational transformation to focus less on traditional consulting services and more on delivering outcomes. Sternfels, who joined McKinsey as an associate 32 years ago, spoke with HBR editor at large Adi Ignatius about how these challenges are reshaping McKinsey as it celebrates its centennial. Here are edited excerpts from that conversation.
AI Overview
Founded in 1908, Harvard Business School (HBS) was established to train professional managers, becoming the first institution to grant the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Originally, the school was situated in scattered buildings on the Harvard campus before moving to its own dedicated campus in Allston, Boston, in the mid-1920s. Key milestones include the adoption of the signature "case method" in 1924, launching the Harvard Business Review in 1921, and initiating executive education programs in 1945.
Founded in 1922 by Dean Wallace Donham, the Harvard Business Review began as a high-level journal for Harvard Business School to bridge theory and practice for managers. Initially focused on macroeconomics and industry, it evolved post-WWII to highlight cutting-edge corporate management techniques. Today, it is a premier source for management, strategy, and leadership insights, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022.
