Why Some Companies Thrived During the Pandemic | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 19 Jan 2023 --- Keith Ferrazzi, founder of the consulting firm Ferrazzi Greenlight, led a survey of more than 2,000 executives to study how they reengineered operations during the pandemic. The research identified a kind of extreme adaptability at the team and organizational levels that helped some companies come out on top. Ferrazzi argues that after months of ruthlessly adapting, leaders should continue on a path of resilience and agility to stay competitive in the post-Covid-19 world. And he offers concrete steps to take. Ferrazzi is a coauthor of the new book Competing in the New World of Work: How Radical Adaptability Separates the Best from the Rest (https://www.amazon.com/Competing-New-World-Work-Adaptability/dp/1647821959) This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on February 2, 2022.
