The chapter explores the challenges and opportunities of re-founding a company in a remote work environment, with a focus on refining the mission and culture. It discusses the importance of maintaining a positive company culture through human connections and creating new cultural norms. The conversation also highlights the balance between addressing immediate priorities and understanding the team's needs for successful leadership.
Reid Hoffman thinks visionary leaders should pursue a "re-founder" state of mind. In this episode he welcomes the newest host of Masters of Scale, Jeff Berman, for a dialogue that digs into a re-founder's mission: evolving an organization while staying true to core values. As the re-founder of WaitWhat, the media company that brings this podcast to life, Jeff explores with Reid their own experiences with leadership succession. And they draw on re-founding insight from all-stars like Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi, and Yahoo's Marissa Mayer. So reset the clock to Day 0 – because it's always a prime time for a reboot!
