It's really the middle layer that I think most people are worried about, right?

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

Because to the middle layer who've been doing things the same way for years, years and years, change is hard.

And it's not just about upskilling.

That's kind of a misnomer.

It's retraining and really helping these people figure out, can they adapt to this new world?

And some of them don't want to.

And some of them do want to.

And so, because the leaders are driving the change.

They're in, they're bought in.

We gotta do this, gotta do that.

Let's drive change.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

And the younger generations are coming in ready to use the tools, to leverage the tools.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

They know how to use the tools.

And then it's just really this middle layer.

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire: How to Stay Relevant, Resilient, and Ready for Change | E152

So that's what I'm most worried about in my organization is how do we retrain

Leap Academy with Ilana Golan

the mindset of these people, along with the skill sets of these people to help them be successful for another five, 10 years or whatever.
