Highlights:
- Covid has made a lot of changes in corporate life, even including our personal life. In mid-2020, all of us were stunned by the onset of Coronavirus and the Pandemic, this has changed the dynamics in terms of people being productive even if they work from home. Setting up a company emergency playbook will allow you to be able to navigate another crisis.
- Companies must invest in their company culture to drive innovation, attract new people, and make their employees happy.
- When people are co-located, the company culture thrives, and leaders can take decisions to align with the culture, values, and company trajectory. However, remote work is a challenge, so leaders must trust in their teams and push decision-making on them.
- As a CTO, a way to see an impact on innovation is by being agile and encouraging people to be in person to collaborate and do design work. Leaders must develop a connective tissue with employees to ensure they feel empowered to work remotely or in the office.
- A CXO can optimize cost without impacting long-term growth by understanding the two types of costs in any company: bad cost and good cost. A leader should always be looking at how to cut the bad cost from the equation and the company so that the company is operationally efficient. They should also invest their limited resources and money where they can make the maximum impact.
