Good morning.
It's been almost a decade since I started writing this daily newsletter, and it will be another two weeks before I stop. So bear with me over the next fortnight as I offer some closing thoughts.
The business world has changed a lot in the last decade. The technological transformation is well documented elsewhere. But I've learned from countless CEO roundtables that conversations ostensibly about technology very quickly turn into conversations about people. How do I lead in this period of unprecedented change? How do I get my team to embrace the transformational potential of technology instead of resisting it? How do I push responsibility and decision-making to the edge – necessary to deal with rapid change – while ensuring my employees are engaged, inspired and aligned with the company's mission and values as they lead the business forward?
In CEO Daily and at Luck more broadly, we tried to help leaders answer these questions. Our reporting, our storytelling, our benchmarking and our referencing are all about the same goal: to improve business. How well we succeed in this is judged by others. But I asked a few CEOs to take on the question: What does it do Luck important and relevant to you in today's world? I will share their answers over the next two weeks. A few things to get you started:
“Wealth it is vital to the business world, not only recording large-scale movements, but channeling thought leadership and innovation. In an age where misinformation abounds and wisdom is scarce, Luck excels in not only reporting on the global economic landscape, but also in providing the insights that shape it.”
—Albert Bourla, CEO, Pfizer
“In a business news environment largely defined by headlines and sound bites, Luck offers deep insight and sharp perspectives to interpret today's challenges so we can better anticipate tomorrow's opportunities… [It] cuts through the noise to understand what's important in business.”
—Karen Lynch, CEO, CVS Health
“Today's business leaders must be able to adapt to uncertainty and rapid change. Luck is a trusted resource when it comes to navigating this change, with timely insights, rich storytelling, and rigorous rankings that hold companies accountable. I admire their commitment not only to reporting on the state of the business, but also to improving the business for future generations.”
—Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines
