Crate & Barrel CEO Janet Hayes on Navigating Turbulent Times for Retail 16 Dec 2022 --- As CEO of retail giant Crate & Barrel, Janet Hayes has a unique perspective on how the pandemic disrupted consumers’ behaviors and altered attitudes. Lifestyles changed drastically, and so did customers’ demands for their homes and, increasingly, home offices. Crate & Barrel had to nimbly react to—and, ideally, anticipate—these shifts. Hayes says the company weathered the market’s turbulence by staying focused on what remains consistent: customers’ core expectations of value, quality, inspiration, and purpose. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.

Marcus Buckingham: Why "Love" Is the Key to Career Success 14 Apr 2022 --- If you don’t love anything about your work, it could destroy you. Bestselling author Marcus Buckingham is a researcher and entrepreneur, and has a new book called Love and Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Love-Work-Find-What-Rest/dp/1647821231/). He says you don't have to love all that you do, but if you have no love for any of your work then you won't be creative, innovative, or resilient. HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Buckingham, who leads the ADP Research Institute, in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • Love is very specific. It lives in the details. Managers need to meet frequently with direct reports to understand their small-scale, short-term challenges and joys. • What makes people feel part of a team? It’s not necessarily about whether people work together in person or remotely. • The dangers of purely transactional work. Doing something you don’t have any love for, just for a paycheck, can damage you as a person. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, HBR Editor Adi Ignatius will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.
