In The Trenches

Having Hard Conversations (Live Panel Discussion from 2022 MIT Sloan Search Fund Summit)


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we discuss the importance of having difficult conversations, something that CEOs find themselves doing on a near-daily basis. We discuss three primary types of difficult conversations, including a) Hard conversations around internal company dynamics (eg: terminations); b) Hard conversations about dynamics external to the company (eg: politics); & c) Difficult conversations that CEOs must sometimes have with themselves (eg: how and when to ask for help).

This is a particularly special episode of In The Trenches for a number of reasons, including:

  • It is our first ever video podcast! (Video available only through Spotify, however)
  • This is our first ever episode featuring a panel discussion, including myself and a panel of four SMB CEOs, investors and Board members
  • This episode is a recording of a session that I moderated during the 2022 MIT Sloan Search Fund Summit, hosted by the ETA@MIT club 
  • Please enjoy!
