Emma Grede's blunt advice: 'Nobody's coming to hand you power-you have to take it' | Fortune
"By 'three-hour mum,' she means that she's spending three hours with her kids completely dedicated to what they want to do, before taking care of herself and other needs on the weekends."
"I have this living, breathing human being that was going to count on me, and I did really feel a surge."
"I think that CEO is kind of lined up into, 'you are the only decision maker.' When you're in an owner-operated business, you can choose where you sit."
Grede's perspective on remote work and parenting has sparked significant online discussion. She dedicates three hours to her children before attending to her own needs. Grede believes her ambition grew after becoming a mother, feeling a surge of responsibility. She has collaborated with the Kardashian family to build influential brands, including Skims, valued at $5 billion. Grede advises founders to consider their roles carefully, stating that being a CEO doesn't equate to being the sole decision-maker in a business.
