Leadership today is like Crisis Management on Steroids
Keys to being a great leader during a crisis of global proportions:
-
Provide a healthy dose of empathy, care, compassion and grace for yourself and others.
-
Be more 'present' while managing your people -- even when you're not together.
-
Build trust by speaking the truth -- and then act on it; then, make further adjustments along the way, as needed.
-
Communicate, communicate, communicate -- about new realities and new priorities.
-
Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate -- there's genius in working together.
-
Listen like never before -- learn as much as you can from those closest to the work.
-
Ask your customers what they need -- do your best to find creative ways to meet them.
-
Be wise enough to ask for advice -- and humble enough to accept it.
What is this crisis revealing about your leadership and your company culture

How you lead people now
will determine what you'll be
