Carl Guardino, the President & CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group sits down with Jeff Frick for The Churchills 2019 at Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, CA. #TheChurchills #theCUBE https://siliconangle.com/2019/09/25/fast-times-at-silicon-valley-as-risk-taking-entrepreneurs-lead-mega-corporations-thechurchills/ Leadership is a balancing act Fast-moving leaders who forget “to do the right things for customers, for employees, and for their community at large” are responsible for the current poor image of Silicon Valley, according to Karlgaard. Addressing this imbalance is the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a diverse association of companies who aim to guide the innovation economy of the Valley. “What we try to do is impact those issues that are as important to families in their living rooms as they are to CEOs in their boardrooms,” Guardino said. Positive news “always starts with leadership rather than luck,” Guardino added, citing San Jose major Sam Liccardo as an example of a leader who is “pro-innovation economy while also caring deeply about his citizens.”
