The biggest shift in corporate culture, according to Toby, is in decision making occurring throughout the company rather than simply at the executive level. Listen in as Toby explains how leadership can empower their workforce.

Some key takeaways:

• Covid provided an opportunity for companies to reflect on every aspect of the corporation, from organizational structure to the frequency of meetings
• Leaders should create frameworks within which workers  have leeway to make decisions- this empowers and motivates employees
• Experimentation with new corporate policies is a win-win, whether the outcome of the new policy is positive or negative
• Transparency is key: everyone throughout a corporation should be on the same page so that knowledge sharing and collaboration is seamless
