Here are the top three takeaways:

Give employees the freedom to innovate. To make the most out of employees' ideas and creativity, foster a sense of autonomy. Your employees are the ones working closest to problems in your company that need to be solved, so they have the best perspectives for solving them - empower them to do that.

The world is changing - fast. People are adopting technology at a faster pace than ever before. Make sure your company is ready to innovate as quickly as possible.

Live your purpose. Mission and goals can be seen as just words on paper, but your purpose should be more. Demonstrate your company's purpose every day - or else no one will believe it.
