Listen Later

Don't let industry disruptions ruin your business. Seize the opportunity.

Fast, rapid change requires a different set of leadership skills. At the very foundation is handling the stress of accelerated change and equipping your team to “seize the day” in the midst of chaos.

I host Kathryn Guarini, IBM’s Chief Information Officer (CIO). She shares her positive strategy to leading in times of accelerated change. IBM has successfully navigated change and evolved over 111 years, and who better to share advice than their CIO.

Kathryn has a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University and holds more than 65 U.S. patents. She leads a global team of nearly 12,000 employees whose mission is to create a productive environment for IBM’s 250,000+ employees worldwide and to deliver the future of IT.

She is the author of the mother-of-invention.net blog about leadership, science, and innovation.
