Dara Khosrowshahi is the CEO and co-founder of Uber. She worked at Expedia for 13 years before taking on her current role. Her advice: "Find some people that you can talk to about it because we're stronger together" The CO job is a very lonely job, she says.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi talks with Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman about his strategy for decision-making. Like most companies, Uber has experienced many ups and downs. Getting through each phase (good or bad), depends on how the leadership team responds, says Khosrowshahi. In difficult moments, which he refers to as "war time," it's critical to prioritize speed and quick decision-making. Conversely, during "peace time", he is more team-oriented and focused on incorporating as many viewpoints as possible.
