DHR’s 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.
A sense of purpose is central for engaging employees through times of uncertainty. Bruce Hoechner, President & CEO of Rogers Corporation, shares how his organization’s cultural behaviors have helped guide and connect employees during the COVID-19 crisis:
“We decided that our philosophical approach to things as a company—or our must-do results and our cultural behaviors—would drive our decision-making. And once we put it through that filter of things like, ‘live safely,’ the decisions were relatively easy to make. And, I think that has filtered down through the organization where people understand our purpose, our focus, and what’s important to us as a company.”
