The changes brought about and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic
are numerous. Our day-to-day lives have been altered, forcing rapid
adaptation. A new report from the Association of International
Certified Professional Accountants and EY Seren, explores the
patterns of behavior emerging from this uncertain time. The report,
Human Signals, also offers actions for accountants to take. This
podcast, the second of two parts, takes an in-depth look at what
the report’s findings mean for leaders and organizations. In part
one, Association CEO and AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon,
CPA, CGMA, shared more about this transformational time. Then Joel
Bailey, a director at EY Seren and a report author, delved into the
research behind the report. In this second part, executive coach
and consultant Gretchen Pisano offers practical applications from
the report and discusses how its findings dovetail with what she’s
hearing from leaders. Pisano is the CEO and co-founder of pLink
Leadership, a management consultancy that provides leadership
development and executive coaching.
