Many idealized the turn of a new year, hoping it would bring a new world, and a new normal. However, just one week in and we saw events perhaps more shocking than the nine months prior much to the dismay of nearly everyone.
The question for leadership now: how do you continue to motivate your workforce and keep morale up? Nine months into remote work with a slow vaccine rollout and the foundation of government rattled, what initiatives can management put into place to reignite the workforce?
For many leaders, coming out and denouncing the chaos is one step in creating more stability for their workforce and the society as a whole. CEOs including U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Thomas J. Donohue, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai, IBM's Arvind Krishna, JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, Wells Fargo's Charles Scharf, Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, Citigroup's Michael Corbat and others issued statements condemning the violence seen at the Capitol this week.
Yet for some tech giants, particularly social media titans such as Facebook and Twitter, the pressure is on to do more and take some responsibility for the information their sites are disseminating. Early Facebook exec and billionaire tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya called out Facebook for not fixing the product years ago. Michelle Obama called on the giant (and other orgs) to ban the President from use. Never before have these employers had the level of social responsibility they have now, and we will all look to them for decisive leadership this quarter.
