How great leaders take on uncertainty

In a constantly changing world, it's impossible for leaders to provide employees with the assurance they want, says Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud. Her solution: lead with humanity and flexibility. In conversation with veteran journalist Stephanie Mehta, Sud discusses her experience connecting remote employees worldwide, addressing burnout and adapting company practices for the needs of the next generation. Hear her vision for the future of work and ideas on how to be a leader that empowers others.

Leaders cannot promise certainty in a world shaped by relentless change, from global pandemics to social upheaval. Instead, thriving organizations are finding strength in flexibility, transparent communication, and genuine care. A workforce of 1,300 people across eight countries, including employees in war-torn Ukraine, prompted a shift to video-first culture and open discussions about what isn't working. This approach builds lasting trust and prepares companies for the evolving expectations of new generations entering the workplace.
