In addition to his leadership at Foundry, the companies heâs involved in, a number of initiatives in Colorado generally and Longmont specifically, and with his family, my partner Seth Levine has written several excellent posts in around the Covid Crisis.
His first, Dealing with evolving information about Covid-19 was deeply personal and explained why it is so important to âbeing open to new and evolving information is so critically important in a time when what we know about Covid-19 is changing so rapidly.â
Then, he had a post about Decision making in uncertain times. He explored several ideas: Donât Panic, Move quickly but donât rush, Prioritize, Be comfortable with ambiguity, You canât control what you canât control, and Make contingency plans. This helps explain why even though we want to make the ârightâ decision, we should endeavor to make the âbestâ decision since the idea of ârightâ doesnât exist in times like these.
At the end of last week, which feels like several months ago, he has a series of practical thoughts for all CEOs that were a synthesis from all the stimuli of that week. And yesterday, as layoffs are starting to roll out extensively across all types of businesses in the US, he had a series of tips for anyone who is job hunting in the midst of a crisis.
Seth has really found his writing voice in the past few weeks. Heâs always been an excellent writer, but Iâm finding incredible value in many of the things heâs saying, both privately (inside our partnership) and publicly (on his blog) as we all do our best to help out in this crisis. I encourage you follow him and read everything heâs putting out right now.
