Even the world's largest restaurant chain has to rethink how it competes.
In this episode of The CEO Signal, @McDonalds CEO Chris Kempczinski tells @PennyPritzker and @Edgecliffe why changing consumer habits and new competitors are prompting him to push for faster decisions and risk. But McDonald's success was built on consistency and careful execution, and changing how it operates is no small task.
Kempczinski also faces the challenge of persuading thousands of independent franchisees to invest in his plans. He's clear about the direction, but pragmatic about the details: “We reserve the right to get smarter.”

“What if design just ran the boardroom?”
In this episode of The CEO Signal, @Airbnb CEO @bchesky explains how his training as an industrial designer shapes his unconventional approach to running the company. He describes Airbnb as a three-dimensional model in his head and so personally involved in recruiting and organizational decisions.
“The founder is the keeper of the dream,” he says.
On artificial intelligence, Chesky warns that Silicon Valley is losing touch with the people whose lives its technologies will transform.
“Society feels like AI is happening to them, not for them,” he says. Chesky believes the industry needs bridge builders to reconnect with people beyond the Silicon Valley bubble. And he thinks he could help.

Vimal Kapur tries to spend a third of his time with customers or sales teams.
For the Chairman and CEO of @honeywell Technologies, those conversations help him understand what customers need, test ideas for new products and make decisions about where the business should go next.

When Greg Brown became Motorola CEO, the company was losing $350 million to $400 million a quarter. Extrapolating out, he says, @Moto was just 18 months to two years away from bankruptcy.
“If you knew what I knew, you would have made the same decision,” he says of splitting the company.
