CED’s Shareholder Versus Stakeholder podcast series consists of compelling conversation with CEOs about whether there is a shift towards stakeholder capitalism underway and the implications of the debate on the CEOs’ leadership roles within their companies and in society. The podcast series continues the roundtable discussions launched by The Conference Board for sitting C-suite executives to discuss the practical significance of the shift from a shareholder to stakeholder focus.

 In this discussion, CED President Dr. Lori Esposito Murray sits down with Laura Berger, a CED Trustee and the founder of the Berdéo Group, an executive coaching firm.

 “There hasn’t been a cheese-moving event like COVID in decades. Every stakeholder imaginable had different needs and wants and was reacting to all stimuli in new ways. And companies knew, in order to get this right, they had to focus on keep their top talent as happy and stable as possible during these unstable times. So they came calling, and we rose to the occasion.” – Laura Berger, Founder, Berdéo Group.
