How two top leaders are supporting their teams
Leadership is difficult. Leadership in upheaval is something else entirely. With a global crisis impacting every human and business on the planet, it could not be more challenging to show up for your team in a solid and supportive way right now. If you’re looking for insights into how other leaders are navigating this, we have something you might find helpful.
Textio Co-Founder & CEO Kieran Snyder recently joined Rachel Carlson, CEO & Co-Founder of Guild Education in a conversation with Ambrosia Vertesi, Operating Partner at Operator Collective for an exchange on leading with empathy and kindness. The three packed a lot into the hour, including:
- Making decisions with incomplete data (trust your gut!)
- Letting your company values guide you, and putting those values into action
- Adjusting your product roadmap to meet the moment
- Supporting employees through change and personal struggle
- Deciding how often and in what form to communicate important messages
- Measuring empathy and kindness in interactions
It was a live discussion and the questions rolled in. If you’d like to take a listen, the recording is free to access here. Enjoy!
