It's another Hot Take episode and The Katies are in a mood.
Hot Take #1 (2:02): Emma Grede's statements around work-life balance were not completely out of line - she was just lacking tangible examples in her messaging.
Hot Take #2 (25:30): X's search for a new comms lead validates that comms is a critical role at the leadership table.
Takeaways
- Work-life balance is often viewed differently by CEOs and employees.
- CEOs need to provide examples of HOW they maintain work-life balance to set a new executive standard in answering the work-life balance question.
- Every time a women gets asked about work-life balance, a fairy dies.
- If you' ask about flexibility in an interview, don't position it as work-life balance.
- Work-life balance looks different for everyone based on personal circumstances.
- X has an opportunity to reinvent itself by starting its own news publication to reposition the way it delivers news; the traditional X feed would be the comments section (we want credit for this!!)
- To manage a tough exec and/or founder, you need teammates that back you when you're not in the room
