Key Points

• Your peer network will be important to your ongoing career progression.
• When joining a board, look for one with diverse members who can add new insight into ways of thinking.

• "The opportunities that I've missed may have been less about somebody not giving me the shot and more about me declaring my intent and desire to have the role," said Tami Erwin, EVP & CEO, Verizon Business Group.
• It's important to know your audience. "Not everyone is where you are at," said Gaby Toledano, COO, Keystone, now Chief Talent Officer at ServiceNow. "You want to know who you are working with; you want to understand that very well and do your homework."

Key Points

• Implicit bias is human and may be negative or positive. Either way, it's critical that checks and balances are in place.
• AI can develop bias over time — it does go through human touchpoints to be formed — but it can also be rectified by retraining models.

Key Points

• Many organizations aren't onsite but have found it beneficial to host panels or open forums with parents virtually. This provides the opportunity to identify ways to support families not only in different areas but, with children at different education levels.
• Innovative ways to connect such as homework clubs, employee home classrooms where employees can tutor their peers' children, and Slack channels act as support groups for parents looking for best practices for teaching their child at home.

• Internal flexibility, such as pushing meetings back five minutes so parents can have an extra moment to set their kids up for each call and allowing kids to sit in on meetings, provides parents with the cultural support to balance their work and newfound at-home life.

Key Points

• Workforce leadership is more important than ever. Keeping workforces safe and supported while also focusing on results is a challenge top of mind for many leaders.
• Frieden advises employers to remember, "You're not an island. You're a part of the community where you're placed. The single most important thing you can do to protect your employees is to make sure your community is doing a good job at Covid control."

• "You need to look at the immediacy of right now, but you also need to look at the longshot," said Osterholm. "We now need to understand what we are going to do."
• Transparency is about being clear and honest, but it's important to make sure employees are still hopeful.
• Edmondson says the best way to communicate leadership's views is to do so frequently, communicate that you are providing a safe channel for feedback, and listen always.

Key Points

• Innovation stacks occur when facing unique problems. The solution to one problem leads to another, sometimes several problems. This chain can reoccur until you end up with a collection of both independent and interlocking inventions, or you fail.
• Innovation stacks result in unique innovations and can be applied to new industries.

Key Points

• According to Jarrett, "The systemic racism that we've seen manifested in behavior through law enforcement to businesses is something that we all have the change on our own if what we expect is a government and business with rules of their own in place to protect all of our citizens, and that's beginning now."
• Changes happen when we begin by looking within our own companies and asking if it is in order.

• CEOs can do more than lip service by asking themselves, "What am I doing in my environment to be inclusive and to truly be welcoming? Am I going beyond what has historically been done?"
• "Until we are ready to actually lead with our values, it's going to be difficult to make progress," Jarrett said.

Key Points

• The government and private sector have worked closely together for many years.
• Because we've gone from the government introducing the technologies that transform the security landscape to private sectors introducing that new tech, the responsibility of thinking about how our actions affect the security landscape tend to fall on those sectors.

• The public-private relationship, at its best, works in both directions.
