Empowering Teams Globally | Samuel Wilson, CEO at 8x8

Clint Betts meets with Samuel Wilson, who is the CEO at 8x8, for this exciting episode of the For Leaders podcast. 8x8 is a platform that empowers teams worldwide to connect, collaborate, and excel. They chat about AI's ability to synthesize meaning from questions and they touch on the topic of working from home, as well as the culture surrounding that debate. Even if they work from home, 8x8 employees work together seamlessly because they are provided the necessary tools to stay connected, the organization is accountable, and upholding company values is prioritized. They also talk about leading a company in Silicon Valley and focusing on changing the world, rather than focusing strictly on wealth. "I want to hire the best people I possibly can. So I never want to be constrained by saying those people, by pure chance, have to be in a 20 mile circumference around where I have an office. I love working with best in class people."
