Abstract

According to new research conducted by the authors, C-suite executives and upper management often don’t agree on how their organizations need to remake themselves for a post-COVID world. As a result, when CEOs and their teams begin implementing their plans, they are likely to encounter considerable resistance from upper managers—and they’ll need to develop new strategies for overcoming it. The authors close by recommending three approaches to change in this new era.
