This is a podcast episode titled, #133: Leading Through a Crisis with Heather Haas of ADVISA. The summary for this episode is: When confronted with a crisis like COVID-19, that has brought global uncertainty and record-high market volatility. Tech leaders are now forced to change the way their companies operate almost entirely overnight. This has had enormous ramifications for how companies are working. Leaders are now expected to be able to support and communicate with their teams with full transparency.
