Living with a bit of chaos breeds creativity, says Sarah Derry, CEO of Accor in the Pacific.
arah Derry isn’t one of those CEOs who gets in an ice bath, meditates and reads a bit of Marcus Aurelius all before 5am.
In this week’s episode, Derry also reveals her coping mechanism for high-stress situations, what she learnt from running her own business and why she tells people not to email her. And the last one’s really important to me because it’s the idea that striving for excellence has an attainable element. So, today, my best is going to be very different to what my best looks like tomorrow. And it’s not about perfectionism, because, and I feel sometimes can actually be a bit disheartening. But if you’re striving for excellence, then that’s actually a really powerful goal to go for.Absolutely. I’m famous for deleting emails, and I actually actively tell people not to email me.
