KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Googlization is the convergence of people, technology and business, a constantly evolving concept that has been especially prescient this year as the business world at large was disrupted entirely.
- We must seek to constantly adapt to our environment, and to the ways in which we can get the best from each day. The lockdown has altered life irrevocably, but we must try not to look back, but forward.
- We are far more adaptable than we think. A year ago, we never suspected such a radical change could take place, and yet we have thrived since. We are constantly adjusting to the new world and will continue to do so.
- IQ was always the metric by which we made our hires and judged the next generation of business leaders. This has shifted to AQ, resilience, self-management and other developing skills that tie to growth and the mindset it provides.
