Demoralised
How can you respond if you are in an industry that is demoralised, by which I mean experiencing low morale, but also perceived to lack a moral compass? I am borrowing this double-meaning from Miranda Wang, CEO of BioCellection, who I shared a panel with at the EPCA annual meeting in Berlin. My dual-formula for overcoming this trust deficit is admission and ambition. Admit that the problems associated with your industry are big, serious and urgent, and that you are partly (or even largely) responsible. And then set ambitious strategic goals for bringing solutions, with speed and scale.
