Sanofi’s CEO on How Company Culture Can Thrive in a Distributed, Hybrid World

from Harvard Business Review · host HBR

Sanofi’s CEO on How Company Culture Can Thrive in a Distributed, Hybrid World 11 Nov 2021 --- Paul Hudson, head of one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, says leaders need to sit back and listen more often. HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with the Sanofi CEO to talk about how to drive a strong corporate culture in a dispersed, hybrid era; what the office of the future might look like, and companies' duty to help employees achieve their best selves. Talented employees, he says, “expect to tell you exactly what they think on any given day", and that's great. This interview is the third in a new video series called “The New World of Work,” which will explore how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.
