As you all know, I recently did a series of videos with 15 top CEOs and MDs of various businesses called "NO RIGHT ANSWERS", to understand how they are coping with the #COVID19 challenges. While it was a social initiative to help fellow entrepreneurs feel less anxious, for me, personally, it was the most enriching experience to learn from such variety of perspectives, across industries.
Some businesses lost, some gained due to this lock-down. Some are playing the waiting game. Others feeling insecure and redundant. But overall there were 5 common learnings that cut through all 15 CEOs / MDs that I spoke to.
THE TOP LEARNINGS WERE:
- HEALTH- Have interests outside of work and stay healthy- mentally and physically.
- INVENTION- Focus on finding creative solutions. Get rid of blind spots.
- PRODUCTIVITY- Embrace technology, cut costs, collaborate and enhance skills.
- SUSTAINABILITY- Respect nature and look at sustainability very seriously.
- ATTITUDE-Stay optimistic, over communicate and weather the storm together.
