Industry Perspective: Challenging the 'Business as Usual' Mentality, from Cathie Saroka
While we’re all reaching and yearning to regain a baseline of normalcy, companies must accept that we can’t operate à la “business as usual” in the current economic condition, says Cathie Saroka, president and CEO of Goldray Glass. Saroka asserts the importance of looking at everything with a different perspective and to question the known knowns. “We can’t assume that things will be the same today as they were yesterday nor the week before.” The unknowns are many: what the future looks like, how long these directives will last, and what the long-term economic fallout entails. However, what we do know is that we’re all dealing with the same challenges and have the same opportunities to take advantage of. “If we can get rid of the things that used to divide us and all show up focused, we’ll get through this together.”
