perspectives interview

Lauren Rottet

President and Founding Principal,
Rottet Studio
What are the biggest challenges you're
facing?

The hardest part of this pandemic is knowing how
to truly lead in a time like this. I realize that many
people and their families depend on the wisdom of
my decisions and with things changing daily, it is
difficult to give definitive, solid direction. As with
any business owner right now, you have to think
about layoffs, furloughs, and salary cuts, as you
simply do not know where a pandemic such as this
can lead. We have been fortunate to have won some
new work during all of this, which softens the blow.

What are the positive effects of working in
these new ways?
We have become a bit more focused on the end
result and how to get there effectively. We have
beefed up our internal financial reporting so we
see live how we are doing each day. A lesson made
clear, though I always suspected it, is that time is
not always used effectively by all. With all of us
on chat groups, it is clear who has enough work
and who does not. It has been great to hear people
volunteer their time and enjoy getting to work on
a new project with a new team not in their own
physical office. It has been an excellent lesson on
how to work better across offices in Los Angeles,
Houston, and New York. For that, I am thankful.

What is your pulse on the industry?

The hotel and F&B industries have obviously been
hit hard. It is inspiring to see them do what they
can by opening up their hotels and venues to help
out first [responders]. It will turn back around, but
unfortunately some will not be able to weather it
and some will be able to take advantage of that. I
only hope those who can take advantage realize this
world is about more than just money. It is about
kindness and doing the right thing for the long haul.

The good news is I have been able to stay in my
Houston home, and that is really grounded for
a three million-plus mile United flyer. I have
been able to see my kids, Kyle and Evan, more as
they come over to [work remotely]. We each have
our preferred office location in the light-filled
environment. Mine is in the sunroom, Evan has
taken over the dining room, and Kyle occupies the
living room. Plus, my dogs are super happy.
