How Change Management Allows Manufacturers to Thrive Through Crisis with William O'Sullivan

Episode Summary

Change management throughout the pandemic has been a common challenge for leaders. In this episode, we discuss why it's an important aspect of business performance.

Episode Notes

Engaging with employees throughout COVID, leading culture in a virtual world and adapting to the change were challenges for every executive.

On this episode, we sat down with William O'Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Seabrook Technology Group, to discuss how manufacturers and those in the medical device space specifically had to adapt their operations and processes during the last 12 months.
