Recommendation

The CEOs of major American firms are working from home as they self- isolate during the coronavirus pandemic. Chief executives who might be rushing to meetings in SUVs or private jets instead are hosting video conferences in makeshift home offices. While coping with their private lives, these CEOs try to keep their companies strong, protect their employees and deal with supply chains disruptions. The New York Times’ David Gelles offers a glimpse into the lives of those at the top of the corporate pyramid trying to get an internet signal from the laundry room.

Take-Aways

  • CEOs are managing their companies from home.
  • When a “shelter-in place” order is in effect, nobody wants unreliable internet service – especially a CEO.
  • Even working from the privacy of your home, the environment today is extremely stressful.
