094: Sarat Pediredla: Navigating Acquisitions and Downturns: Building a Resilient C-Suite and Making Unpopular Decisions with Purpose
In episode 94 of the podcast, I speak with Sarat Pediredla, CEO of hedgehog lab.
Join us as we discuss the importance of recognising that everyone has their strengths, but some people are just not right for your company. While it can be tempting to people please and get curious about how you can fix poor performance from team members, investing in the wrong people can inevitably be a risk to your organisation.
We also delve into the power of building a culture of psychological safety amongst your team and why this is an important measure of the team’s overall success.
Key takeaways include:
● The challenges of navigating the acquisition of a company and building a new C-suite
with a 20% downturn
● The realities of having at least 50% of the current decisions being unpopular and how
to respond to this
● Being challenged over focusing on culture at the expense of business
● The key to creating a strong leadership team is knowing and understanding each other in and outside of work
● The danger of believing that asking for help is a weakness and how much time that can cost you
● Surrounding yourself with the right people is the best way to navigate challenges.
Sarat, once bound to be a brain surgeon, shifted to software engineering and moved to the UK.
With hedgehog lab, he aspires to lead the world’s biggest and best digital product
consultancy.
