Podcast Interview: Master the Pivot
Podcast Interview: Master the Pivot
Uncertainty is now a key ingredient of the modern business climate, so leaders must Master the Pivot. And in discussion with Davey Hatcher on his podcast, Capacity, we dive into that challenge for leaders and businesses.
Regardless of your business, there are moments when your revenue is going up, down, or sideways. That’s when you need your entire team to pull in the same direction. However, there’s a problem. Team members may interpret their realities differently, and change is difficult.
Some may hold onto old successes, which are no longer relevant. Others may struggle with confirmation bias, believing only in solutions that confirm their thinking. Still, others have no idea about success in remote work and digital environments.
Here’s a tip: It’s significantly different right now, and there’s no place to hide mediocrity. That’s why this podcast discussion with Davey is vital for business leaders who are just … confused by experts making varied recommendations.
What leaders want is not the ‘next big idea’ or trend. What they want, what you want, is a solution—and practical thinking—to ensure your business’s profitability in the digital age.
