Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new interview
series called
How To be An Effective Leader During Turbulent Times. Full
description here https://bit.ly/2OZ7GT7
We are living in unprecedented and unpredictable times. As a
business leader, how can one make plans when the future is so
unpredictable? How can one inspire, motivate and engage their
team when the future seems so uncertain? How does a leader
communicate and direct effectively when people are facing so
many personal challenges?
We would like to interview CEOs and business leaders who have
lead during difficult times, and who can discuss 'How To be An
Effective Leader During Turbulent Times'.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the best ideas will be submitted to Buzzfeed and

The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:

Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.

Effective Leader During Turbulent Times'.
Deadline to submit a pitch: September 1st

We're looking for expert comments with advice to pizzeria and
other restaurant owners trying to survive the pandemic. Feel
free to email me with your responses to these questions to be
considered for this article running in September 2020:
1. Assuming the coronavirus actually worsens in the fall, what's
the no. 1 smartest move a pizzeria owner can make to keep her
doors open? Let's move beyond the obvious answers like "keep the
store clean and make customers feel safe" while still thinking
in terms of management and operations.
2. What's the biggest mistake you've seen restaurant operators
make during the pandemic?
3. Assuming job prospects don't improve significantly by
September, how can pizzeria owners create a sense of value for
their cash-strapped customers?
4. Feel free to answer a relevant question that I didn't ask
above!
3.
Requirements:
Interviews will be conducted via email only - no phone calls,
please. We're looking for quotes from restaurant industry
industry consultants and owners/operators anywhere in the U.S.

valuable.

Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 4 August
Query:
Companies in many nations are placing renewed focus on
diversity issues since the death of George Floyd and subsequent
upsurge in the BLM movement. But many firms/institutions are
leaning disproportionately on employees who are people of colour
to suggest possible initiatives/join committees/help formulate
more constructive responses. This is placing undue burden on
these employees - often they aren't paid extra and participation
can take a toll, both in terms of emotional health and dealing
with workload. I want to hear from corporate diversity experts,
academics, and companies from around the globe. Why are
companies/organizations turning to POC employees, what's driving
this, companies don't know where else to turn, or what exactly,
what's the thinking? - What's the impact on the staff member?
Should they engage or not? If people want to engage, how can
they do so in a way that works for them and doesn't become a
burden? - What should companies be doing differently and what
are some best practices? Any companies/organizations that have
made progress in this area this summer, what to hear your story,
what you've done so far? Want to hear from companies/experts
from around the world.

I am working on an assigned article for IoT Agenda (TechTarget),
due Aug. 7, looking at where organizations are best off in terms
spending their money and time in IoT during challenging and
uncertain economic times. For example: * Are there IoT
infrastructure investments that would be good to make now and
would payoff whether the company needs to suddenly expand its
consumer facing retail IoT or deploy more IoT to squeeze cost of
a warehouse/fulfillment operation? * Similarly, are there areas
where it makes sense to slow or stop investments given global
conditions? I am interested in input from IoT practitioners,
analysts, and consultants, in particular. In general, I am not
looking to source IoT vendors but would welcome background
information. I can work via email or phone.

Query:
Hi! I'm looking to get a quote from a small business leader who
recently shifted their business to operate mostly online due to
social distancing requirements.
Specifically, I want to know if you found shifting internal
business processes to be online (e.g., employee performance
reviews) a challenging factor in going digital.
Could you tell me the specific business process, how you've
taken it online (software used), and why it is/was a challenge?
Your experience and insight could be used as an example in my
upcoming report for Capterra.
Thank you so much! Olivia
Requirements:
Please only respond if you're a small business leader
(U.S.-based, 2-500 employees) and recently shifted/are shifting
business processes online/virtual.
And that you've had a challenge specifically with shifting an
internal operation/process online. An example could be how
employees now get online IT help instead of walking over to that
dept.
I appreciate the help!
