Select 2018 chats on leadership, organization & innovation

I have summarized 2 of the chats I had in late 2018 with 2 C-suite executives about topics ranging from organization & leadership to strategy & finance.  I have removed the names of the people and the companies, but have provided some info on the position of the executives and the nature of the companies.

There is no claim to any scientific outcome or unusual wisdom; it should be seen as a snapshot of what a class of global executives thought a year before COVID-19 hit. It is only intended as a casual reading for retrospection and reflection.
