The Wartime CEO
AI summary of the linked articleNine leadership principles drawn from Israeli startup CEOs who led through six months of war are presented as useful for founders in any crisis or ordinary period. The principles were built from interviews with nearly a dozen CEOs of Israel's top multibillion-dollar companies, including Zeev Farbman of Lightricks, who said he had to redistribute work when only about one-third of his team was available due to reserve duty. Forter's Liron Damri said the company gave staff maximum flexibility so they could put personal safety first.

1 comment  The impact of the war on our company was that many employees were drafted. Probably around 20% of our employees. But the first thing we all noticed was that none of the executives in the company were drafted. That didn’t look good from our perspective, so we decided that at least one of our executives had to be drafted. Long story short, I found myself going to reserve duty after 12 years of not doing so. lol, I'm admiring the decisiveness of this. that goes so hard |
