How have CIOs around the globe survived the pandemic, and how will the experience change the way they lead going forward? A Mayfield podcast with Harry Moseley, the Global CIO of Zoom, about the challenges and opportunities that the crisis has presented.
“Over the past 13 months, we’ve learned that we can actually do amazing things in incredibly short periods of time, when we have the goal of doing a few things really well, rather than doing a lot in a mediocre fashion. We do communications and collaboration. And we do it really well.”
“Leading and managing has changed forever. Before the pandemic we’d go into the office and talk to the team, manage the people, and get the work done. We don’t do that anymore. It’s all about achieving the outcomes. There is no schedule. Eric Yuan, the founder and my boss, doesn’t really care when I work – but he cares about the outcomes. He inspires employees to wake up in the morning with the attitude of ‘How can I help this company? How can I help our clients? How can I help move this ball forward?’ Now, achieving excellence is doing the best job you can.”
