DHR International and Elevate Partners’ Future Ready Leaders series asks CEOs and other top leaders what it takes to be a successful leader now and as we prepare for the future.
Here, Chris Ahern, CEO of ZAGG, talks about how agility has helped the company weather the storm brought on by the COVID-19 crisis. His leadership team’s ability to make decisions quickly – and be comfortable with being uncomfortable – has helped the company change course, identify opportunities, and set the company up for success:
“Be comfortable being uncomfortable. As a leader, there are going to be a lot of scenarios where you are forced to make a decision when you may not necessarily have all the information you need. The worst thing that I’ve seen through my career is the inability of someone to make a decision. Your employees are looking for that decision to be made. So, make a decision. And, if it is wrong, learn quickly from it, readjust and move on.”
