S3. Ep. 10 Resilience Revisited: How the Pandemic is Encouraging Leaders to Refocus on Value

In this episode, Chris Hutchinson (CEO of Trebuchet Group) and Seth Silvers (CEO of Story On Media & Marketing) discuss: * How the Covid-19 is forcing many leaders to clarify their purpose and to refocus on what is valuable. * How the pandemic really hit home for many people that we aren’t in control of many aspects of our lives. * How the pandemic is teaching everyone, from business leaders to schoolchildren, about resilience, coping mechanisms, and dealing with stress. * The benefits of doing weekly 15 minute huddles with your business colleagues. In some of Chris’s recent huddles, he and his team have talked about equity, diversity, and inclusion. * What’s the role of the leader? * Patrick Lencioni’s idea of a rallying cry. * Chris’s hope that people take this time to do some self reflection. And that, instead of justi figuring out something technical, such as “it’s better to do X instead of Y,” Chris hopes that people ask more poignant questions, such as,”How are we working together?” * The thought experiment of asking yourself: “What would my company have to do in order to still be in business 100 years from now?” * How the pandemic is providing us an opportunity to choose. In a way, we can either say, “This is a crappy time.Or we can say, “This is helping expose the things that really matter to us.” * How, as leaders, when we commit to learning, we’ll know what we're going to stumble upon.
