What Has Panera's CEO Learned From the Pandemic?
What Has Panera's CEO Learned From the Pandemic? 13 Jan 2021 --- Panera’s leader Niren Chaudhary has firsthand experience of leading through adversity. While Chaudhary was head of Yum! Brands, his daughter Aisha passed away from pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 18. When Covid-19 hit, Panera pivoted by offering groceries and setting out-of-work employees up with open positions at CVS. We talk with Chaudhary about how the fast casual chain made decisions during this period of uncertainty and what’s next for them in 2021. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
