Last week, we looked at an old-school CEO who doesn’t seem to “get” remote work. This week we’ve got just the opposite: A CEO who grasps exactly why people want to work remote. He even shows evidence of possessing that quality that’s become a buzzword these days: Empathy.
Stuart Butterfield, founder and CEO of Slack, now part of Salesforce, told CNBC this week that his experience of the pandemic showed him why working from home made for a better work-life balance. He’s quoted as saying, “For me, personally, I have an 11-month-old, and there was no ‘I’ve got to get the 6:08 train to get home’ … and I would not trade that for anything.”
