Sadow: Silicon Valley Leaders Look Out of Touch on Societal Impact
“I think the way that we reflect or the way that we are viewed across the rest of the country. I think in the last few years, there's been a number of issues that have popped up that have made technology leaders look like They're out of touch. They don't unders…”
Sadow: The Shift to Shared Autonomous Fleets Will Take Decades
“I think it will be shared is probably the most important thing. If I think about this over the next five or 10 or 15 year time horizon, I don't think you're going to see much difference in the near term. I think it's going to take a little bit of time for auto…”

Sadow: Company values only take hold when embedded in every key process
“And frankly, that's how I think all good values actually take hold in a company is they actually take hold in every piece of what you do in every key process.”
Sadow: A CEO's job is aligning employee goals with company opportunities
